We had a discussion about this ( unofficial) in clubhouse.Or that the WHS has given multiple player higher handicaps than there ability and are now cleaning up in comps
Many clubs are bringing in limits which shows the lack of confidence within the handicap system
That's 10 comps per year, lots of people can't play in winterJust had an email from the comp committee stating from next year you must have 5 qualifying scores in comps in previous 6 months to play in the board/Cup comps. (And have 20 scores on your record)

Personally I'd not bother with any if that was the requirement.
Higher handicappers, especially those who are improving I would have thought.How is it skewed, and to which groups please?
YOU have 2 comps per week. Many clubs don't.Yeah, less than one round a month. We have 2 comps a week, every week. We're in South Wales, not Finland, so winter is less of an issue.
If you can't manage 10 comps in a year, you're better off being a nomad.
Yes, some thing like 10 sounds right. Drop one or two behind, play a coupke to get yourself back on board.Yeah, less than one round a month. We have 2 comps a week, every week. We're in South Wales, not Finland, so winter is less of an issue.

TBH my club does not seem that bothered about comps and neither do the members.I agree. Clubs with very few comps wouldn't be able to operate our rule, and why would they? But they could operate something that meets their needs.
Thanks for your thoughts but I was asking the poster who categorically stated it was skewed towards certain handicap groups, I was hoping for an evidence or fact based reply.Higher handicappers, especially those who are improving I would have thought.
From what you’re saying your postie pal barely has any competitions to play in, how does he maintain his handicap? General Play? If I’ve understood it correctly the club only runs one weekend competition per month and always on a Saturday? Doesn’t strike me as being a particularly competitive environment. Each to their own though.YOU have 2 comps per week. Many clubs don't.
Pal of mine is a postie. Works every Saturday. All our weekend comps are a Saturday, one a month apart from a short spell with the odd extras for champ qualifying. He can't play in those.
Some Thursday ones over the summer. He can't play in those as he walks about 18 km in his job and can't face playing a medal after that.
It isnt skewed anymore. It used to be, towards low hcs. But WHS levelled the field.How is it skewed, and to which groups please?

Thanks, but saving_par says it is. Should I believe him or you?It isnt skewed anymore. It used to be, towards low hcs. But WHS levelled the field.
Not to sure about that.It isnt skewed anymore. It used to be, towards low hcs. But WHS levelled the field.
Who wins the medal/comp?Thankfully our club doesn’t discriminate against any particular HI, instead we use divisions, prizes for different HIs and find ways to encourage and make things work within our comps.
Thats a comment on the winning score, not the chances of winning.Not to sure about that.
I still havnt seen a single figure golfer shoot 58 net but a few high ones have at mine!
