Scratch versus Slope
Something that is important to understand is that the only true measure of th difficulty of a golf course is the scratch rating relevant to par, so where a scr rating is higher than the par of the course that means that the course is that strokes harder than par for ALL players – even those off scratch. The Slope r is there to level the playing field for those who are not scratch golfers and th higher the GA handicap the more the player will benefit from the slope rating
The outcome of this review is as follows:
Men
White tees, drop the slope rating from 132 to 130
Blue tees, increase the slope rating from 140 to 141
Gold tees - no changes needed
Women
Red tees, no changes
Gold tees, increase the slope rating from 119 to 122
The Golf Committee has considered the recommendations of Golf NSW and agreed to implement the changes from 1 October. st
