Bring back rule 19
50 is a helluva score but certainly not unattainable between 2 players playing well( really well that is). We had a 4bbb earlier this year and i was off 8 and my partner 6 but we came in with 49 pts which equated to -5 gross(67). Was just one of those days , I had 6 birdies and we had 1 bogie. Everytime one of us messed up the other parred apart from the birdies obviously.
Certainly 2 single figure golfers could reasonably be expected to not score worse than par between them. Factor in the h/c and mid 40's upwards is what i'd expect most 4bbb comps to won with.
Played in a pairs match the other day and with us off 7 and 8 we finished after 15 holes and were -3 gross between us. It's not an uncommon thing tbh and we left plenty of birdie putts out there too. If we can do it then i'm sure the really good players can too

I agree full handicaps doable but 3/4 allowance it gets a lot harder

Not sure where you're coming from there? You can't blame the system for either someone having a fcareer day, or simply outright banditry as may have ahppened here or even cheating as in the case of the txi driver example used above?Sorry but this is another reason that the h'cap system needs a re-work IMHO.
Higher level of control of handicaps and compulsion to submit cards to retain a valid h'cap as we should hopefully get with the new rules coming up.
