Playing my first work golf society game this Friday and I’m a bit late to the party but it’s the finals and the company’s biggest event of the year.
The organiser has requested what my handicap is and I have given him my index and also explained what I play off during competitions and general play with the slope ratings.
He’s explained that as it’s only a small society they don’t operate the slope system so my handicap will effectively be my club handicap?
So is my club handicap just my index?
He’s basically just rounded the index number and I’ve checked against the slope ratings for all the tees on the course we are playing and I’m losing 3 shots off 2 tees. It’s got a 700 yard par 6 ffs ?.
Now I wouldn’t have been that bothered but this day hasn’t come cheap and I would be a bit gutted teeing off knowing full well my handicap is not correct because he hasn’t used my index against the slope rating.
Now my question is if you were in my shoes you pull the organiser up on this or would you just go along and enjoy the day?
Any advice appreciated
