Examples:

(a) 3 up on a Par 72 course with a CSS of 70. Par is 2 more than CSS so Nett Differential = -1. Exact Handicap reduction depends upon Handicap Category.

(b) 37 Stableford points on a course with Par 68 and CSS 69. Par is 1 less than CSS so Nett Differential = -2. Exact Handicap reduction depends upon Handicap Category.

(c) 3 down or 33 Stableford points on a course with Par and CSS of 72. Nett Differential is +3 and is within Buffer Zone of Categories 3, 4 [and 5]. Exact Handicaps in Categories 1 and 2 will be increased by 0.1.
