    Winter matchplay unfairness for low handicappers

    I know people of 1 or 2 who are not that great but play at short easy courses then come me to my course and go around 10 over. Look up county championship results at any county. Always plenty of scratch golfers going around in mid 80s.

    Winter matchplay unfairness for low handicappers

    Come and have a game. IV played tighter courses but ravines add alot of danger, need to hit 200 yards or your in trouble but winter these are out of play. Last winter we won first 4 then only managed two draws and three loses. This year 3 wins a draw a loss then shortened three loses. Three...

    Winter matchplay unfairness for low handicappers

    I was off 6-7 for last 3 years , had a bad season with injury and doing up a house so golf suffered went up to 9 but still can't win against 15-20+ handicappers on shortened course. Played alot better this winter than I did of 7 and still no joy on shortened course which just shows how important...

    Winter matchplay unfairness for low handicappers

    If it suits better golfer that's fine, obviously if I'm off 9 and the other lad is if 20 I'm better golfer but it's handicap golf so it's not better golfer. Everyone even the high handicappers say it's easier for high handicappers in winter. How do I want things loaded in my favour? All I was...

    Winter matchplay unfairness for low handicappers

    I'm not your mate, you can question my credibility, IV had a bad season and gone upto 9 from 7. I can play better than 9 sure. You might be mates with hobbit but I don't know him and I think he's talking nonsense, it's a fact on a shortened course it suits higher handicappers or at least at my...

    Winter matchplay unfairness for low handicappers

    Name and club to back up cat 1 for 40. Years status claim? Look at the comments from other low handicappers most agree it's much easier for high handicappers. It's fact. There is no way if you had all this experience you wouldn't be able to see this. How many yards are knocked off your course in...

    Winter matchplay unfairness for low handicappers

    So you have played for 50 years but can count on your toes how many times you have been beaten. So you must have won your matchplay event at your club at least 40 times. Winter matchplay too. What's your name and club and I'll look for your name all over the matchplay events winners pages.

    Winter matchplay unfairness for low handicappers

    Results at our course show higher handicappers win nearly all matches on shortened course. It's fact. It doesn't work anything like your examples, your talking nonsense.

    Winter matchplay unfairness for low handicappers

    Yeah it sucks. We have lots of revines and its to protect the tee boxes. It's a great course but when it's accross the revines it's taking a big danger and alot of yards off the course.

    Winter matchplay unfairness for low handicappers

    Yeah I get that, when they are on you have no chance. Im not sour. I have no problem with handicapping system. What do you mean when things are not in my favour? You mean when it's just normal golf on normal course ie fair contest. That's what handicap is for to even things out. Shortening the...

    Winter matchplay unfairness for low handicappers

    They got 10 and 6. I think it's just our course as we lose 150 yards on some holes. One hole is down to 100 yards from 180 and stroke 10 so as long as they hit the green then you need a birdie. My question wasn't whether it was fair it's a fact at our course at present it isn't. My question was...

    Winter matchplay unfairness for low handicappers

    This is the problem at our club. Less and less lower handicappers enter now. Most don't bother. We lose too much length on our course some courses maybe don't lose as much. Iv played better than ever today, shot a 70 today my best ever winter score and still only good enough for a half. Our...
