Totally agree. Numerous sessions with an osteopath at no small expense didn’t help my lower back one iota many years ago following a prolapse and trapped nerve.
Four sessions with a sports physio and I was as right as rain.

Fella off 19 who knocked me out of the winter comp, and when we finished on 15th had dropped 5 shots…played in medal yesterday. He’s been racking up 40-44+ pts regularly over winter period and only had to do a 22 over gross yesterday to get a cut in his HI.
And guess what…he knocks it round in 27 over. So no cut for many of his first round matches to be played before next medal. Let’s see if he puts in some GP cards to get his HI down to reflect his improvements over winter period.

Surely, for the benefit of everyone at the club, it's your duty to 'out' him.

Or he struggles in comps
It always amazes me how many people get beaten by “bandits” etc etc

It’s well known that his HI no longer reflects his ability…no matter…just iraraitating.

My putting today, wow 
I used to think I was a reasonable putter, odd 3 putt but not too many, I’m now 3 putting most holes. I don’t fancy any putt like I used to, pace is way off etc etc.
Now looking by at new putters as it’s obviously the right thing to do

Ha ha maybe a mallet but not a fang style or huge thing. Been looking at Cleveland HB Soft 10.5 or 14. Not massively expensive so it wouldn’t be a huge loss if it doesn’t work. Lad I play with is a bit of a dealer so I’ll ask if he’s got a couple to try.
Always good to have mate like that

Has your approach play improved? IE finding greens from further out.. I went through a big 3 putt phase but then noticed I was making greens in reg but miles from pin rather than being a few meters off and chipping it close then 2 putt

Putting is so random for me. The other week I went round with only 27 putts, sunk everything. This weekend I missed a one-footer and sunk nothing. I think it all hinges on my first two greens - hole something decent early and I'll putt well all day. If I miss one I'll hole nothing all day.My putting today, wow

You may have a point, I’m definitely hitting more greens in reg. I joined a new club recently as well, the greens are very deceptive and I’m not hitting the lines, but pace is a big problem at the minute.

Nothing whatsoever in his handicap record that reflects any HI cut. His wins were both K/O comps and likewise I have never been cut as a result of winning a k/o comp. Thing is, he admits his HI should be lower than it is…and says he hopes to get it down. Maybe he was just trying too hard on Saturday in the first medal of the year - ending up shooting his worse round for yonks. But hey, I suppose that’s golf - though knowing that doesn’t make it much less irritating.So he would have got a cut from those wins then

You're not lifting your head too quickly, are you? I know that when I'm putting badly, I am lifting my head to look at the putt and then as my putting gets worse, I lift my head quicker because I'm getting anxious about it - it's a slippery slope for me on putting

I’m really not sure, I need to spend an hour on the practice green and just concentrate on the stroke ignoring where the ball is going.

So the point still stands
He does well in matchplay but struggles in comps where there is a card in the hand - the same situation for many people playing golf in clubs right now
Your handicap Committee should be reacting on those KO wins and adjusting handicap during annual review
But basically the irritation comes from you losing to someone of a higher handicap
