Hogs has been using the Nomad handicap system for a number of years. The system was originally implemented to compensate for flaws in the SAGA handicap system which could result in the same golfer winning prizes in many consecutive matches.
Making sure that Hogs members’ Nomad handicaps were kept up to date has always been a time consuming task. The Nomad handicap system has often also created confusion – especially when guests and sponsors played in Hogs games.
Over the years the SAGA handicap system has been refined and amended to the point where it is no longer necessary to implement and maintain the Nomad system. In future all Hogs members will pay off their official SAGA handicap at Hogs games.
The committee will continue to monitor to ensure a fair spread of prizes across the field
