    So this is handicap manipulation right?

    1. Clearly you know that but in my experience on the HCap committee Cat 1s often manipulated their handicap by not returning cards that would make them go out, at least the WHS has stopped this by applying a penalty score. 2. The next day, however under the UHS if the score meant a downwards...

    The all things EV chat thread

    But that is the same as having four bags of say cement in a van. Not range but performance- I have had cars that I noticed the difference with a passenger in the car. I used to drive a 2.5 litre diesel Transit and used to notice the difference when it was loaded up when we went on holiday...

    So this is handicap manipulation right?

    How has the current system made it easier? I do not know what system you had under the UHS, where I play it was simply walk in to proshop, sign the book and return the card at the end of the round.

    As per D_S The same opportunity was available under UHS. Admittedly by just one shot.

    The all things EV chat thread

    Surely this is about range rather than power. Probably simply more noticeable on an EV than a diesel. The other thing to consider is that with an ICE vehicle the weight goes down as you drive along but it remains constant with an EV

    Driver shaft trimming

    Were you just aligning up with the old shaft for the measurement? Normal practice would be fit the adapter, put it in to the head, measure then butt trim. With a new shaft this would mean 2-2.5 inches being cut off the butt end depending on the head.

    Random Irritations

    I had to smile at this - assuming a double duvet they measure 200 x 200 cms I was trying to sell a BNIB incorrectly delivered duvet one person decided not to buy it because she had measured her very old duvet in imperial and the size was not the same.

    Golf Random Irritations

    I reckon there will be no more golf for me this year I last played on the 25th November, since when the course has either been closed or there has been a buggy ban on the days I usually play. It does not look like the buggy ban will end this side of Christmas either and I am going away after it.
