Don't you just hate it when....

Played with my mate yesterday who's a member at Fortrose. Fantastic weather, shirt sleeves and no wind at all. The Moray Firth was like glass so pretty easy for there. Shot 4 over gross and got hammered by a 16 handicaper. I'll have to stop giving him full diff, the bugger

Tell me about it!
Although His Fraggerness hasn't beaten me when I've played well.
Although there is time.....

I guess he played well too thought right?

But ye, I hate giving my mate 4 shots. Im my mind I dont count it

 

[fundy]

could be worse, mate i play with we change up and down 1 shot on who wins, currently giving 5 shots more than full diff!!!!!!!

I once gave a 26 h'capper 17 shots, shot 6 over gross and lost by a hole. The only hole I didn't give him a shot on I birdied and he rolled a 25 footer in on top of me for a half - frustrating is not the word for it.

thats the way the cookie crumbles. when us higher handicappers have to play a low handicapper of scratch, it can be soul destroying.

mind you not as bad as when is stepson played as well. Had to give him 13 shots, i shot level par gross and still lost

Just need to get the pair of them on a long course when its blowing a gail.

Swings and rounabouts. I played with a 26 handicapper last week and he knocked it round in 38 points and didn't score on three bloody holes and in his words "played rubbish". I busted a gut for my 27 and was reasonably happy with how I hit it in the windy conditions. Mind you I've played guys off 3 and 4 and had a good day and won thanks to the shots received so it cuts both ways

especially when its for cash

The handicap system is flawed in my opinion, it clearly favours the high handicapper. Period.

Just because I beat you 7 and 6
