You will needs to also pay the EG and county affilaition fee's, around £20 depending on area. In order to get a WHS handicap you will need to play a minimum of 54 holes with someone as a marker, it is up to the club holding your handicap on who they allow to act as a marker.

There has been alot of panic and moaning on socials around the so called changes, however the T&Cs are not changing and the vast majority won't be affected by them. So if you are not asking for more than 6 hours of charge in a 24 hour period, then nothing changes. So yes you will still get off...

I am struggling to underatand how you see some big difference between the two. Playing your best and playing to win are one and the same as far as I can see, just different words.

All depends on the intend, if it was practising then 2 shot penalty is correct.

As I have tried to point out before and you have failed to respond. It would only be possible to identify incorrect ratings, if a high enough number of scores were recorded from players who's Hi has been largely calculated from a number of different courses, very few clubs will fit that bill.

Given that the default position for GUR is that players may choice to play the ball as it lies, the question should be why make them no play zones?

Sorry my reply forgot to include format. Either play match play or stableford, never medal, then that question never then arrises. Edit: If you haven't all got handicaps then, in thew first instance allocate on best guess to start with and then reduce increase as you see fit, until you are...

Seems a ridulous state of affairs to me. The players who went home did nothing differently from yourselves as far as the rules are concerned, so either you all should have been refunded your entrance fee or non of you, if you were to be disqualified. Slightly different if the pro was acting...

Do away with the mulligan rule for a start. To be honest in my view there is little to consider beyond, when is a gimi a gimi, where to take relief and how many penalty shots for a lost ball or out of bounds. In winter you might also consider alloowing the cleaning and dropping in the rough...

Assuming that your have no more 7 away scores in your last 20, it does appear to be a problem for you. As others have pointed out it may just be down to how you approach different courses either consciously or sub consciously. I can't find a scorecard of your course but looking on google it...

So are you saying of the top 8 scores on your WHS record most are on away courses.

The problem with your proposed system, is that it had zero mathematical basis. Handicaps for the vast majority of those playing most courses are based on the CR and slope as currently rated. So scores of those players will reflect those ratings, therefore nothing can be learned from them. It is...

Agree with this, replace the term cliques, with groups of friends/like minded people and no one would bat an eyelid.

Maybe they could call it a digital ID;)

I don't particulalrly like club rules that allow one group of people precedence over another, however some good sence by all does needs to prevail. If a Better Ball team match, consisting of 24 players, has been scheduled for late afternoon, then a a two ball playing social golf cannot...
