Just to be a pedant, neither method is intrinsic more accurate. Which is a reflection of how something is measured not the method of determining central tendancy. Though I would certainly agree that the median is a more useful number than the mean.

I think there is a point in that it teaches you the best estimation of distance change so that you can estimate for competition rounds.

This winter the weather has been appalling and I've a knee injury so very little. Normally a reasonable amount. If the pins aren't on a regular green GPS is not a lot of use.

Have an injury and haven't played for a month, probably mid Jan before I can play. No longer badly injured just visitors and then trips away.

Most of the time I use GPS though I have both. This time of the year I will use Laser more frequently for temporary greens. the other circumstance I tend to use Laser for is courses with very large greens

No clue how many rounds so many of my early years at the club I was playing partial rounds in the evening. I've birdied every hole and had eagles on three.

Stimulated by a thread elsewhere where it is taking nearly 50 rounds before the cost of annual subs is the same as paying for you r golf on a per round basis I was wondering how it varied amongst forum members. I realise that there are other benefits to being a member of a club such as practice...

If I enter an Open my purpose is to play the course, I want to play as well as I can but where I place is of no real interest. If I'm playing at home in a medal I'm trying to be the best I can be . I'd far rather shoot a personal best and not win than be the best of a lot of mediocre rounds...

A lot of the benefit I used to get from being a member when I was working was the ability to go up and knock around for a few holes in the evening after work.

Thank you for replying the only response I can recall responding to was this one https://forums.golfmonthly.com/threads/whs-survey-in-2024-have-any-results-been-published.118542/ Which was not a response from the R&A who made the survey but a response by English golf who appeared to be 'victim...

Think he's coming up from England so will pass the Solway Firth. I think going South was last years trip when returning home from Edinburgh reading the post.

The point is not that there is an entitlement to see the results but that an organisation that wants to gain the trust and support of it's stakeholders would extend the courtesy of feeding back to those who have taken the trouble to respond to them. If it doesn't it is doing nothing illegal...

With respect to handicap commitees if the information is there why not publish it on a central website so that everyone can see it rather than getting a handicap committee members interpretation of what is there, a classic recipe for 'Chinese whispers'. Can anyone point to a set of data that...

Publishing the information on the website would be a good start. I have asked how PCC works it appears to be a black box calculation. I have been onto the EGU and Golf Scotland website I have still seen no data. Is it secret?
