Div B845 to 889 Metrix rating

How Metrix Handicap Works
Handicap prizes use Metrix's handicap calculation, not your raw score alone.
Raw Score
Your actual total throws for the round. Lower is better.
+/-
Your raw score compared with course par. A score of -11 means eleven under par.
Handicap
Metrix estimates a handicap from your rating and the course. Higher-rated players receive less help; lower-rated players receive more.
Net Score
Raw score minus handicap. Handicap prizes are awarded by lowest net score, so a player with Raw 45 and handicap 8.83 has Net 36.17.
Safety & Etiquette
Social Days use public parks and shared courses, so safe, friendly play comes first.
Park Users Have Right Of Way
Wait whenever there is any chance your throw could reach another person.
Check Your Starting Hole
Cards can change before tee-off, so always confirm your group and starting hole in Metrix.
