On Saturday a fairly new golfer spoke to me about the handicap he had been allocated at the start of the season. It was 11 after having handed in cards of two in the 90s and I think he said 86.
So far this season the best he's shot has been an 86, he then phoned the handicap sec saying that his h/cap was to high and he can't play to it. In return he was told that he can continue to hand in supplementary cards.
Now it's my understanding that an allocated new handicap is done so using a specific formula and NOT just a guess by the h/cap sec, so has this player been hard done by ??? cause I know when I handed my 3 cards in I got exactly what I thought I would as I worked it out using said formula.
