Interested in how people view their handicaps.... personally it doesn't interest me in the slightest, either a) to get it down or b) what it is. That's not trying to be casual or laid back, more that I never play in any competitions due to a young family and that I know better than anyone what I go round in. Last week I had 39 points and the week before 29, at the same course and the same conditions, so, like most people, I can play under it and I can also be a shambles.
Conversely I know a huge amount of people who are obsessed by the whole thing and fret over going up or down and seem to tally their overall happiness to whichever direction their handicap is going.
I'm pretty sure I'm in the minority here but keen to hear what people think?
