Nope if he is that bad then he should really give up, would not like to see him on the practise range as I don't think he would have a clue where he was hitting it.
Do 3/4 handicap comps favour good golfers too much?

I'm thinking that I can spot where his main problem lays. Maybe he should have a few lessons and then he won't be practising the wrong things and might improve enough not to need 2 shots on a hole.

I've never had a lesson,and according to the experts on here i am playing with the wrong clubs and should be custom fitted.
I play the game for fun,fresh air,nice scenery,good company,scoring well is a bonus.The way some people talk on here,you'd think they were playing this game for a living.
I agree with you here, never have I seen so many guys pretending to be golfers........lol
The old saying " they talk like Jack Nicklaus and play like Jack Duckworth" oh and give out free advice:rofl::rofl::rofl:

Are you serious!?
So no one should have a h/c of 18 or above!?
So if a new golfer takes up the game he/she is expected to play to or aound bogey golf straight away? Where is the fun in that for him/her?
Thats just going to put them straight off in my eyes.

Ain't that the truth mate.
Yep so many guys these days suffer from LOFT, some guy have it and some guys don't. Them that don't can normaly get it round the course without to much trouble.

Plenty of sunday league football teams who hardly win a game,do you think that there players don't enjoy playing football because they don't win ?
How would people feel if poor football teams were given a 10 goal headstart in the interests of fair play ?
I'd seriously question just how much some people actually love the game of golf as much as they say they do.I'd quite happily play week in week out without winning anything,but some people feel they have a right to win,regardless of there ability.
Is that fair ?

You realise that's the low handicappers you're describing there...

It's not about winning things it's about the fact that a new golfer can compete against a single figure player and stand a chance of winning, hence the handicapping system in golf.
So should we scrap the handicap system and everyone play off scrath then?

:clap:
Hmmm not sure about this, I mean if I was getting 10 shots or more I would be expecting to win week in week out but like I said if I was that bad I would take up bowls:rofl:
Not sure about that but maybe we should set a limit on handicaps, say 10 for a good even number and if you can't play to that then you don't get on the course. You can always come on here and talk a good game if you feel the need........

There are many people out there playing off +5.
So stick to your word and pack in golf.
Wouldn't want to be a hypocrite, would you?

Or set a limit for the amount of rubbish certain low h/c's talk and ban them from golf and any golf related forum to stop them sperading there evil narrow minded thoughts on the game.
Sounds good to me.

You think i'd lose sleep worrying about somebody with a high handicap scoring more points than me in a Stableford comp ?

No but because golf is a competitive sport there should be some sort of incentive to improve.

I wouldn't loose any sleep beating someone with a lower h/c in any format of the game.
