Ok people,
I have a quick question before getting assassinated on Friday.
The only HC (official) that i have is from my first three cards that i put in (May/June 2012) when i first started to play earlier this year after joining Suffolk Golf and Country Club. I have not played any competition golf since taking up the sport in May 2012.
I am not a member anywhere at the moment however will be joining Lee park next year when i am back in the UK permanently.
I use an online handicap tracker thing (http://todaysgolfer.golfscoretracker.co.uk/) where i put in the score from every round i play.
What do i use on meets such as this coming Friday. The official one from Suffolk or the online one?
Kind Regards, Steve

Perhaps the question should read:
What handicap would you use if you were in my position????

What are the two handicaps? Im guessing the second one would be the most up to date as you have updated it since you did the 3 cards?

Louise - i certainly hope so after being absolutely pi$$ wet through this morning!
Birchy - courtesy of two cracking rounds (+16 at Carden Park and +18 at Arrowe Park) the online one is 20 and the Suffolk one is 26. I'm normally around +22/+24 hence the question.
Liverbirdie - Just had confirmation from the guy still in work that he will not be able to make it on Friday so it will be just myself. You need money beforehand or is it all pay on the day?
Whats the timings and score throughout the day such as lunch and stuff.
Cheers, Steve

Hi Steve, glad you can come along.
Handicap wise, I would not say I am au fait with all the handicap rules and guidelines. The one rule of thumb I would say to work from is the double bogey system, if you still have your most recent cards.
I.E. Any holes with more than a double bogey, get marked down as a double bogey maximum only. This is an adjusted total for your card.
So say you hit a 95, but you had 3 triple bogeys, you would then take 3 off the 95 for a nett 92 (handicap wise). This, I think is how handicap secretaries work out your scores. If on this system you had 3 cards whereby you had actually scored say 100,97 and 92, but in the double bogey adjustment they became 96, 96 and 87 this would give us something better to go on. then it would be more towards your best score(ish).
Anyway, we will be relying on your honesty, which I'm sure wont be a problem. My view would be we have to be fair to you to be able to compete, but also fair to the rest of the players. If you give us the details, then I'll PM them and hopefully all come up with a fair handicap. I know you are an improving golfer and think that the online one is a better guide, and also a fairer reflection of your current form, but let us know other details and we'll go from there, hopefully.
9.30 tee off, no lunch or food included, maybe just a few beers afterwards in a local pub, then bring on the Ryder cup.You just pay on the day £46, and I recommend the other £4 into a prize fund, so £50 in total.
The weather looks ok at the mo, just need everyone to confirm they are still ok, hopefully a few more could join us. I think there are about 5 or 6 at the moment. Believe me this is a great course.

I'm still ok for this, I've got the day booked of and I'm just hoping this weather turns around.
I havn't been playing many new courses recently so I'm looking forward to Delamere.

I've just checked Tommorrows weather for Northwich, it's looking like sunshine all day!
Anyone else fancy playing one of the top courses in the North west on a nice sunny day before the seasons over?

Indeed it was a great day, well done to LB for arranging it, luckily for me, my one good shot of the day won nearest the pin. Nice to see Scouser and LB again and to meet Podgster and Querty.
