I thought you must have me on ignore given you failed to answer any of the questions I asked.
When someone starts rambling on about things being woke. I figured a long time ago that there is absolutely no point trying to discuss a point of view them.
I wasn't motivated to answer you. Looked at your posts and just thought to myself, WorldHandicapSystem sums the fella up, not fit for purpose.
Yes. It was a long time ago. I don't make stuff up.
Our club's junior section started us with 48 max. First competitions were around our pitch and putt and then we graduated onto the front nine of our shorter course playing off ladies tees. Next step was 18 hole competitions on the shorter course. When we got to age 15 or 15 handicap we moved to men's tees. We didn't play in the adult competitions with junior, ladies tees, handicaps. When we got off men's there were a few competitions we could play in. Getting to single figures a few more. Only at 18 could you play in all.
Dunesman has wrapped this discussion up for me with #1307. There's nothing more I can add really.
As far as not believing that this is the common view from the clubhouse that argument isn't worth having. I wish my views on WHS made me an outlander. If I was I'm wise enough not to argue about it. I'm struggling to think of anyone in my clubs that wouldn't see it the same. I live in an area that is dominated by golf courses and everyone plays.

I did not think there were any "scenarios".
He seemed to me to be someone with strongly expressed negative views regarding WHS.
I've come across many players who do not like WHS. Thintowin is one more.
I find his views quite different from most gripes I hear at my club. Most of those are based around "losing a shot".
I have tried, but I have failed so far to convince anyone that there is simply no such thing as "losing a shot".
I do not find it surprising at all that no one here has been successful in changing the views of anyone else on this thread.
A debate is an exchange of views. There does not necessarily have to be a winning view.

Sounds very simiar to my start in golf
4 hole medal first
Then a 9 hole medal
Then finally 18 holes
ALL OFF RED TEES until 16
Then Yellow tees until 18*
Then white tees.
*Some exceptions were made for single figures

So when did your unofficial handicap turn in to an official handicap or were your Ladies Tees rated for Juniors/Men?

Freudian slip? Wasn't Outlander also a drama about going back in time

Re the bit in bold:
Exactly what we do now.
The difference with the rest is we have our Forward/Junior Tees rated and can therefore play off other tees with no issue once competent.
We also make exceptions for Juniors who are off 18 and below in terms of entering Mens competitions.
Junior Girls can enter Womens Comps once they reach a Handicap of 36, this was introduced by the Ladies Section to increase numbers playing Comps.
Yes, indeed.Freudian slip? Wasn't Outlander also a drama about going back in time

History taught me that you learn this game from the green back to the tee. Stay away from driving ranges and start with pitch and putt and the vast majority of able-bodied males don't need a handicap over 28.

Except I was talking about 55 years ago when juniors (under 18) had no standing on the course and the youngest female goler was probably in her 40s
Perfect.
It's called reverse chaining.
Start with a small swing (easier to fix faults)
Then build the swing from a strong and sound foundation

I guessed it was a while back, but no idea what point you’re trying to make.

If he had you on ignore, how did he quote you in post no. 1,321?

Because we had no official handicaps that could be used in any comp except junior stuff.I guessed it was a while back, but no idea what point you’re trying to make.
We didn't get an official handicap until we were 18.
So I guess the point I was making was things have changed over the decades regarding junior handicaps which means
1. Thintowin isn't 17
2. He wasn't having a laugh at everyones expense
3. He wasn't lying

Two summers putting ages 6 and 7.
Two summers pitch and putt ages 8 and 9.
Then on to red tees at a full course age 10. Told to mark a card every round. Achieved 27 junior handicap off red tees before 11th birthday. Men's max handicap was 24.
After 12th birthday had to move up to "men's" tees. Took me that year to adjust and another two years to get an official maximum handicap of 24. Board comps max 20 shots.
Next three years went 24-18, 18-10, 11-5 (given a shot back from 10 to 11 as I had not played to or better than 10 three times)
