After some advice guys......
Joined my first club last Autumn, been playing regularly, solo and with some nomad mates, but haven't yet got my handicap sorted. Planned on doing so once the weather and conditions improved in the Spring, but at the same time booked a course of lessons. Game went backwards initially so put off getting the handicap.
Now feel I'm back to where I was at least, probably improved slightly, and my pro is pleased the way its going.
My dilemma is whether to play now, and accept that I might get a handicap a bit higher than I would like (maybe 22-24) or wait until I can work on the lessons a bit more and hope to start with my handicap 18-20. Am just a bit concerned that cuts might be slow initially. 0.1's could take a while to get me to my 18ish initial target!
Plan is to enter some comps and submit cards as that will be a quicker option than fixing up games with members, given I don't know that many yet.
Any thoughts?
