Just a matter of waiting,

Have finally put my three cards in to obtain my official handicap at my new club.. They were scores of 88, 89 and 89 with nothing more then double bogey's on them. The par for the course is 70 so I'm taking it I'll be playing off 18.
I now have to play three comps before being illegible to win any prizes, with the first being a week on Saturday.

Exciting times. Well in!!

How long you been playing?

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Three very solid and consistent scores. Well done you.

 

[Jimaroid]

Well played.

Hope you don't go out with a miserable 4 'capper in your 3rd comp!

Handicap is based on the scratch score for the course rather than par. Sometimes it's the same but not always. Could be higher or lower.

Do you know the SSS for your course?

 

[morgs]

I don't know if I mislead anyone with my post but if I did I'll clear it up. Not new to this annoying game and have been playing about 9 years and I have returned to a club where I was a member before ( about 5 years ago ), hence the need for a new handicap
So, at the moment playing some good golf after having a few lessons and looking to kick on through the season once I get my handicap

Just had a gander during my break and the SSS is 68

Which would point to a 20h/cap rather than 18. Sorry.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Solid start. Get those three other cards in and then clean up! Nothing beats playing with card and pencil in had

Not necessarily as depending on exact score at holes they may be reduced for handicap purposes. So it may be less than 18!

I may also be wrong

He did say nothing worse than double bogey.

Nothing wrong with a starting handicap of 20.... mine was 24

 

[garyinderry]

Three rounds of comp golf without worse than a double is great golf for someone looking in around 18-20.

 

[Paul77]

I did some website "what's my handicap" thing the other day with three cards. Just for kicks and giggles and not official of course, and it came out at 28. Game Golf has me at 33.5 for the same rounds. It's a benchmark and I'd be wetting myself if I was 20. Stay strong soldier

With gamegolf being US design and based I suspect it doesn't use Congu structure as the other handicap software does which will account for the difference. Don't worry about it it's only a number just enjoy the game.

I agree. I really just try my best and keep my scorecards. Lower scores mean I'm doing better

Darn speed reading lol

I would still be surprised if he is given more than 18.

When I got my handicap I put in two cards and I went +20/+11 for a total +31, +18,+5 for a total +23 and was given a handicap of 16! Didn't get the chance to put in third card ...

Shot a 90 for+21 in my first medal.

Keep us posted with what you get and enjoy more medal golf.
