Firstly, I am quite happy when CSS goes up as if I have a good round it gives me more of a cut
The thing is at my club we do have a lot of members who are getting holder and have played better in the past than they are liable to do in the future, for example one lady used to be as low as 5 or 6 but is now up to 13. This trends to mean that in most competitions CSS goes up. I have benefited from this quite a bit this year.
Last month I had a net 69, 3 under SSS, but as only a couple of others were in their buffer CSS went up to 74 and I so I benefited from an extra 0.4 cut.
Yester I had a net 71 but no one else buffered so CSS was 75 and I got an extra 0.6 cut.
In fact more often than not CSS has got up and has quite often been Reductions only, I have probably been saved an increase four or five times. So all in all thanks to CSS my handicap is probable 1.5 lower than it would be if handicaps were purely based on SSS.
As I said at the beginning, I am quite happy with this as I want to get as low as I can but although I am now playing off 10, I am probably ought to be off 12.
