1.) This handicap card was created for use in the UK AHS, with handicap ranges from 28 to -3.

2.) I have only tested it with respect to games I have played. Bugs may exist and players should occasionally check that things are as they would expect.

3.) The automatic detection of handicap changes has only been checked briefly on the example given. Checks have not been done yet for a player with an increasing handicap.

4.) For Queries/Support email mark.gooding@gmail.com

5.) Please report any errors to me. Preferably send me your card so that I can see what is wrong.
