You are asking a different question to the one I answered but to answer yours yes the Secretary was wrong - the cards should have been doe at your Club over a measured course (ie from the plates not the tees of the day)

Er...yes....no clause 19 and general play (GP on in extreme circumstances now) any more, I think it's now clause 23 which is an annual review of handicaps....

Oh well. I've got my handicap now so not complaining. At least I can play in some open competitions!
Just got to work on getting it down a bit.

Just looking to play some decent courses at a reasonable price. Not out to win...I hear it's bandit territory out there!! I see there is an Open at Princes in August, max handicap 14 and only costs £33.00 to enter. I might have a drop of that....
Straight from the CONGU website
What are the requirements for obtaining a CONGU® Handicap ?
Having satisfied the requirements for membership of a Club, CONGU® requires that to get a handicap a player must submit cards from at least three rounds, marked by a person approved by the Club. The rounds must be played at that Club over 18 holes of, preferably, a measured course. The Club will then adjust the returned scores, so that a lady never records more than 3 over par and a man never more than 2 over par on any individual hole. The cards are then assessed and the club allocates a CONGU® handicap based on the amount the lowest score returned exceeds the Standard Scratch Score of the course played (after taking into account other factors it considers relevant).
