Our club comps are ridiculous with this system 32nd place for first single figure handicap player who shot 2 under his handicap. The lady who won shot -12 and hand a 12 on one hole. Comp was medal. I won't play in them any more. I put my cards in now on golf England when I play away days
So you're no longer an average golfer?
Put more cards in and your handicap will even out. The new system is a big improvement.
There is something wrong with it as now 43-45 points winning consistently by mid to high handicappers, net 65 regularly winning medals by mid to high handicappers, as a single figure golfer I know I stand ne chance under new system of winning club comps
I like it tbh . I hated in the old system if ur playing bad it took ages to go up
Complete disclosure, I'm a high handicapper, and will stay that way until I make time to play regularly. Also, I am the world's worst mathematician. I used to wonder how the hell I got the handicap I did, but decided to study how it works and why it is set up the way it is. I now enjoy the challenge of working out course ratings etc and setting goals for my handicap. Knowledge of how it works has made it interesting. Thumbs up from me.
Easy. The new handicap try to reflect your actual ability to play golf, not the one you have 4 years ago.
Baffled? All you have to do is read how the system works. You need to play 20 rounds before it's a fair reflection…
If memory serves, prior to WHS I played a comp scoring gross Par & 68 net. I was beaten by 2 guys who played off 13 & 12 I.e. net 67…a ‘known’ pair of sandbaggers (who ‘apparently’ manipulated their handicaps in the winter to win in the summer), it was far more common to do this, so I’ve been told by several friends & members…
With WHS sandbagging is far harder to achieve; for that we should all be grateful…
Totally agree, I’m newish to golf and new to the handicap system and so far put in 9 cards averaging 88 per round. My whs scores says 12.2 but surely that’s not correct? All rounds played on par 71 bar 1 round (par 72) so shouldn’t I be around a 17 handicap ??
If you were playing 18 holes each time it may show a truer reflection of your game.
At home if we play a 9 hole comp it is easier to get cut. Just a thought. Good luck.
