We have had a rainy winter and we may risk that there will be mat regulations for a longer period in April \u2013 but it is perfectly fine for Old Boys if we need to use mats to protect the pitch as much as possible \u2013 we are happy to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To ensure that we all play by the same rules, we have attached this year's Game Rules and the Annual Plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As is tradition, we will ask you to focus on 2 matches, which we will ensure we field the best players (+chairman :-): The match with Hornb\u00e6k in Hornb\u00e6k on June 7th and the match with the Tuesday Club on August 9th. So mark your calendar now and inform your family that you are busy with golf on these 2 Fridays \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Denmark, we have mentioned this update several times and in several places and announced a joint launch of the new rules as of April 1, 2024. However, the Danish Golf Union has decided to divide the phasing in of the new Handicap Rules into two stages \u2013 as of April 1, 2024 and as of January 1, 2025. Second phase \u2013 effective from January 1, 2025:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Justification and details:<\/strong> DGU assesses that this work will be too extensive and disruptive for the clubs to carry out at the same time as the start of the season and during the season. We have therefore chosen to postpone the implementation of the introduction of 9-hole ratings until 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There will of course be thorough guidance to the clubs regarding this. We plan to begin that process no later than mid-August 2024. Valid from January 1, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n New method for up-scaling to 18-hole Handicap Score.<\/strong> Effective January 1, 2025, the method for scaling up a 9-hole round (or an interrupted 18-hole round) to an 18-hole Handicap Score will change. The calculation assumes that 9-hole ratings have been introduced. Today, a 9-hole round is scaled up by adding 17 points to the 9 unplayed holes on the 18-hole course. And a round that is interrupted after 13 holes, for example, is added 1 point to the first unplayed hole and 2 points to the rest. In the future, an \u201cExpected Handicap Score\u201d will instead be calculated, which is also based on the player\u2019s handicap, among other things. A different score will therefore be calculated for players with different handicaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Kind regards<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Board of Directors of Old Boys<\/p>\n\n\n\n Copenhagen Golf Club<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" K\u00e6re Old Boys, I \u00f8nskes alle en dejlig P\u00e5ske og ventetid p\u00e5 \u00e5rets s\u00e6sonstart, som n\u00e6rmer sig med raske skridt \u2013 \u00e5rets s\u00e6son \u00e5bner for 18-hullers spillerne i ugen efter P\u00e5ske. 9-hullerne venter en m\u00e5ned mere for at vejret skal blive varmere.

First phase \u2013 effective April 1, 2024:<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
\n
The introduction of 9-hole Course Ratings involves a major overhaul of the DGU database and GolfBox. The system is ready for the start of the season, but after that there is a lot of work for the clubs to do with the update to courses that now also contain 9-hole ratings. These changes include new conversion tables, new options for printing scorecards (for 9 or 18 holes, depending on a player's previous round selection) and changes to the setup of course selection in tournaments.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The individual main points:
<\/strong>Valid from April 1, 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
The courses will be rated during 2024 through a process where clubs that wish to be rated will complete a form for DGU with information about data from the course in question. A rating will then be issued, which can be found in GolfBox in line with other rated courses. There will be a certain processing time for such ratings depending on the timing and volume of courses submitted.<\/li>\n\n\n\n\n
For the player, this has an impact on the handicap assigned, as the rating is often different for the front 9 and back 9. For example, if we play 9 holes today, we get half the 18-hole handicap \u2013 let's say 10, if we have a total of 20 strokes assigned. But in the future, we will be able to get 11 strokes on the front 9 if we choose this for our 9-hole round, and if the front 9 is rated \u201cmore difficult\u201d than the back 9.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.kgkgolf.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/KGK-logo-uden-baggrund-150x150.png\"){kind=logo}
