Absolutely deserved. An all time great. Legend. Not sure there’s ever been more pressure on a golfer.

They do interact in other places.

We have a new joiner (to England club) from Australia. I have link number etc. Is there a way of transferring handicap automatically or am I reduced to getting last 20 scores from him and inputting manually?

How does this diktat fit with model local rule E5 (alternative to stroke and distance)? “The Local Rule is appropriate for general play where golfers are playing casual rounds or playing their own competitions. ” EG are clearly extending the circumstances in which the rule can’t be in place...

Anyone used the fitting service here- mission golf academy? Looking for some new irons and looking for a good pace for an outdoor fitting.

No, it applied before this year. And unless I’m going mad, the Low HI is used not just for eligibility but for some competitions is also used to calculate Course Handicap and hence Playing Handicap. See Sections D and E of the Golf Ireland handbook. I don’t really understand how it fits with WHS...

It would be very useful if all formal match play results (doesn’t have to be hole by hole scores) were recorded on the handicap system. Club competitions and inter club matches. Could be used in reviews in various ways. A rare GP score? Ah, 3 days before an important match which caused a 1 shot...

We have play-offs for board comps. Agree that matching scorecards is effectively random.

I think you can choose fractional method on ClubV1.

We are specifying to go hole by hole back from 18th in that scenario. But that would need to be manual…

I,d join where you think you would most like to end up. If you join the local muni then you may very well make friends and you might end up staying for that reason she n you’d really prefer playing elsewhere.

Because I’m a competitive person and that’s what I enjoy. I play very little non competitive golf, find it mostly boring tbh unless on an away course or something.

Backstopping. Plenty of people who ask you to leave your ball by the hole rather than than just shutting up and letting you stand by the green for pace of play reasons.
