| Perry Puzzler for 2026-10-24 - Answer |
A golfer has a Low Handicap Index of 7.2. Based on their lowest 8 of 20 Score Differentials, their newly calculated Handicap Index would be 11.6 before the cap procedure is applied. What Handicap Index should result after the Soft Cap is applied? A. 10.2 B. 10.9 C. 11.2 D. 11.6 Correct Answer: B — 10.9 Why: The golfer can increase 3.0 strokes above their Low Handicap Index before the Soft Cap takes effect, taking them from 7.2 to 10.2. The remaining 1.4-stroke increase is limited by 50%, so only 0.7 is added. 10.2 + 0.7 = 10.9. |
