DICKWORTH-LEWIS HANDICAPPING SYSTEM

Professor Sir Dickworth Faldo reveals his inner Bob Marley

Professor Sir Dickworth Faldo (B.Math) is the inventor and patent holder for the potentially lucrative Dickworth-Lewis Handicapping System (DLHS). It considers your last result and the number of wins you've had in your last 15 starts before making the appropriate adjustment for next year.

DLHS works with the following constraints for the Match Play Championship:

first-time players are provided with a floating handicap which can be adjusted if, and as, they progress through the tournament,
the maximum individual handicap is 34, and
with the exception of first-time players, tournament rules limit a low marker from conceding a match handicap (the difference in handicaps between two players) greater than 27.

In the DLHS table below, positive numbers are bad for your handicap and negative ones are good for your handicap. "Last 15" refers to the number of wins you've had in your last 15 Match Play starts. The categories in the "Finish" column list possible tournament outcomes - dnp (did not play), MC9+ (missed cut 9th+), MC1-8 (missed cut 1st-8th), Rd16 (Round of 16), Rd8 (quarter-finals), sf (semi-finals), ru (runner-up) and w (Champion).
