Hi everyone,

I apologise for the ambiguous title. I am very much a novice at Excel, and am quite unfamiliar with the terminology to use.

I belong to a social golf group, and for years we have been manually adjusting our handicaps after each round, so i thought I'd try my hand at automating it through Excel. For a complete amateur (at both golf AND Excel) I think I've done okay. I'm stuck with one thing however.

Based on a mean score (called the DCR), and a handicap formula, a player's handicap will increase, decrease, or perhaps stay the same after each round. i have a series of columns which get me to that figure. The eventual winner of the round however has his handicap adjusted further and this is where I am stuck. In my limited understanding, i believe there are two options:

a) Using the winner's name

Match the name (cell C6)

Take their adjusted handicap from that round (cell L22 in this case. Old was 13.6 and new is 12)

Append the formula from column M

All the other player's handicaps in Column L do not change, and are same in column N. Only the winner's handicap is reduced. I already have a column which calculates IF they win (column M), however i only want that to apply to the winner, not all the blokes

I do apologise if this isn't overly clear. Hopefully someone might be able to assist, or at the very least point me in the right direction

Cheers
Bushwood
