Ambrose
Daily handicaps are based upon shots given for that player for the holes being played. 9 hole handicaps are not necessarily half 18 hole handicaps. A player off a daily handicap of 6 is given 6 shots on the holes indexed 1-6, if the front 9 contains 4 of these. This player in a 9 hole Ambrose playing off holes 1-9's daily handicap is 4.
This applies to all variation of course hole lengths (ie: a course less than 18 holes)
