9 fourteenths

[apj0524]

Had the conversation with an opponent at the weekend in 4BBB, about his view that no one should get 2 strokes a hole, I tried my best have sensible discussion but was not having it, until I suggested that I my view golf should be an inclusive game, not exclusive, so one my buddies who is under 50 and has had stoke and has a physical impediment, should not be allowed to play the game he loves off his hard earned handicap of 22.

I makes me cross this especially when I see some of my club golfers enter qualifiers and then repeatedly NR to protect their artificially low handicap for team events

Don't understand this point, you still go up with an NR.

Thought that the recommended 90% was more or less compulsory?

In any case for strokeplay it just seems way too generous, I'm undecided yet for matchplay but in strokeplay giving players 90% of their hcp will lead to many scores way under SSS. That just looks wrong, it might not be inherently unfair (because I haven't seen a proper study )but it looks wrong imo
