Thanks very much and apologies for going off on a tangent, interesting reading. Am I correct in saying that 18 hole course handicaps are based on slope only whereas 9 hole course handicaps already have CR-Par factored in?

I thought the "theoretical back 9" was based on the 9 holes that your are submitting on, what else could it be based on? The calculation gives you 9 net pars + 1 shot. If CR-Par changes how many shots you get and thus adjusted for net pars then surely this would have an impact on the differential.

Would this change affect how the score differentials of 9 hole scores are calculated? My understanding is that the theoretical "back 9" score added is the 9 hole course handicap + 1 stroke.

Thanks very much for that I'll give that a try. I am enjoying it so far, great wee course and good test of golf, especially the par 3's. I had been thinking of joining a club for a while now and took the plunge at playgroup due to the low cost and flexibility. I had been looking at other...

Cheers, GMcF

Currently using a set of Ben Hogan Radial blades. Love the feel and look of the irons. They are from the mid 80's and older than me :P

Morning all, I am looking to get some info from anyone that is a member at Playsport in East Kilbride or the Mearns Castle Golf Club. I was wondering how busy the clubs are in terms of availability for medals and comps and for booking rounds at the weekends and evenings. Cheers
