I wouldnt fancy homers par 3 to start.
the course im playing at the moment/looking to join has a 370 dogleg left. O/B left and right albeit a long way right. Driver is not an option for me as the dogleg is quite severe. the dogleg limits the straight line driving distance to about 230. I take a...

If a junior holds a mens handicap i.e. 28 or less and pays the money to enter like everyone else then what is the issue.
your example of 1 junior dropping from 28 to 18 in 1 season is not exactly a concrete argument. Anyone playing to a 28 handicap can drop a...
