THE SCHEID SYSTEM HANDICAP
The Scheid System is a "worst holes" system for large unhandicapped events. The Schied System works somewhat like the Callaway System but is designed to give all golfers an equal chance, with a range of scores up to 151.
By the Scheid System, a player's allowance is determined after each round by deducting the scores of the worst individual holes during an 18 hole round. The table shows the number of "worst hole" scores he may deduct and the adjustment to be made, based on his gross score.
For example, if his gross score for 18 holes is 95, he turns to the table and opposite that score finds that he may deduct the total for his three worst holes scored on holes 1 through 16 inclusive. Thus, if he has one 9, one 8, and a 7, his deduction totals 24. Further adjustment is then made according to the table below each column. For the sample score of 95, the deduction is increased by 1 stroke, resulting in a final allowance of 25. Thus 95 minus an allowance of 25 equals a net score of 70.
