| Perry Puzzler for 2026-08-22 - Answer |
A golfer's 20-score record currently has eight counting differentials ranging from 4.0 to 7.0. They post an 8.0 differential, and their previous 20th score was a non-counting 12.0. What happens to their Handicap Index, assuming no other adjustments? A. It increases B. It decreases C. It remains unchanged D. The Soft Cap activates Correct Answer: C — It remains unchanged Why: The new 8.0 does not enter the player's lowest 8, while the 12.0 that drops off wasn't counting either. Therefore, the same eight differentials remain in the calculation, and the Handicap Index does not change. For More on the Subject |
