Dec.5(a) Consequences If a Reduction of Handicap Under Clause 23 (Review of Handicaps) Is Inappropriately Applied
A reduction of handicap pursuant to Clause 23 can be made only when the Handicap Committee has reason to believe that the handicap of a player may be too high.
If the handicap of any player is reduced other than to the extent required by Clause 20 or the correct application of Clause 23, the player's handicap will not be a CONGU® Handicap and must not be used in any competition for which a CONGU® Handicap is required.

If the away Qualifying Competition score or scores would have reduced the player's Exact Handicap to a lower handicap than that provided by the Clause 23 B adjustment, then the player's Exact Handicap must be further adjusted, otherwise the Exact Handicap adjusted under General Play Adjustment shall stand. The club may, at its discretion, reconsider the Clause 23 B adjustment in the light of the further information.
