To notify a golfer of an adjustment to their handicap index, Cap Patrol strongly encourages sending a Member Adjustment Notice.
To send a Member Adjustment Notice:
- Select Admin in the left-side menu
- Select TEE SHEET COMMUNICATIONS SETTINGS tab
- Select the MEMBER ADJUSTMENT tab
- Type the name in the Member search bar
- Select the correct name from the drop-down list that appears
- Click the GENERATE button
From here a template of Cap Patrol’s Member Adjustment Notification will appear. This is customizable. You may edit the message in the Body section.
We recommend leaving this message as is. The message is intended to break down a member’s Cap Score and adjustment criteria using strictly their data as it pertains to our algorithm. It justifies the adjustment with data throughout the message, leaving any subjective reasoning out of the equation.
Next, edit the following fields as desired:
- merge_interval
- effective_date
- end_date
- next_review_date
To do so click the pencil icon ✏️ in the right-hand column.
Note: next_review_date should be the day following the end date.
Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the PREVIEW button. This will open a preview of the Member Adjustment Notification as the member will receive it.
All text in blue font is the member’s current metrics that have lead to the handicap adjustment. See Screenshot below:
If you are content with the preview, return to the bottom of the page and click the SEND button to send the member their Member Adjustment Notification.
Once the member is notified of the adjustment the handicap committee should then make the modification to this player’s index only for the upcoming club tournaments, events, and competition rounds.
Cap Patrol does NOT recommend making the handicap adjustment in GHIN or the WHS
