Hi all
Been handing my cards in for my initial handicap. It's a 9 hole course with 18 tees therefore I had to do 3 on the front and 3 on the back. My cards varied from a 39 (best ever at my home club) to a 55 (shocker).
Most of the cards were in the mid 40s and I was expecting to be off anything from 22-25 as I haven't been playing golf all that long and I'm just so inconsistent (as soon from the 39 - 55!)
Imagine my surprise today when I got the confirmation email to say my initial handicap is 15!!!!
GULP. Doesn't look like I'll be winning any competitions!!
Anyway, I emailed the Sec and she said the new algorithm seems to be giving lower handicaps because of the Mexican scenario. Without wanting to look stupid, I didn't question this. What on earth does this mean?!
I look forward to a lot of weeks getting less than 20 points and seeing it increase by 0.1 every medal!
