And if you are there for breakfast you can’t have it on the outside patio - only insidePlayed Little Aston today. Jacket and tie required in the bar and dining room after 12:30pm every day. Only place that is exempt is the casual bar.
Proper traditional golf club
Haha. I've had this debate so many times that I don't know where I stand anymore. In the old system I agreed with you, 9.4 or lower would be single figures. Because it was always rounded up or down from that number no matter what course you were at, so you'd have to be 9.4 to receive 9 shots on the course. But in the new system, it's so fluid I don't know anymore. For example, if you got down to 10.5 at my course, you'd have a course handicap of 9 off the whites. So as that's your home course you could argue you're off single figures then? Perversely you could be off 9.0 but have a course handicap of 11 at a tough course, so you're a single handicapper who plays off 11? The waters are very muddy on this.
I would say it's worth a new thread but I think there's been one, and it may even have been me that started it.
At my club he would be scratch off the yellows, but 2 off the whites. (PH 95% used)
I get ya, but I'm totally a single figure playerSo what you're saying is we need another WHS thread?
I'm ok with HI being the barometer, even if home club playing handicap is significantly higher. HI travels, and is what's on your WHS record. But I think you have to round it to nearest whole number. Maybe I'd feel different if I was off 9.5?
Similarly, is someone with HI of 0.9 a scratch golfer?

With my current HI (2.4), at my club I have a playing handicap of 3 from the back tees and +1 from the forward tees. If people ask, I say my handicap is 3.
Yeah when any golfer is asked 'what's your handicap' by a non golfer, they can't ever answer quoting the number to one decimal place. That'd just be tragic
I just tell them I'm off 'around 13'.Yeah when any golfer is asked 'what's your handicap' by a non golfer, they can't ever answer quoting the number to one decimal place. That'd just be tragic

Yeah. Just answer 'professionals don't have a handicap'. That way you haven't lied, and what they infer from that is up to them.
Liar!

This gave me an idea. Off the gold tees at my club I have a CH of +1. I’m better than scratch!If asked I just say my current Course Handicap off the back tees. I could make myself sound a ’better’ player by quoting my CH off the front tees, or by quoting my Playing Handicap off the front tees…but who am I kidding and who am I trying to impress….
