Basically just manufacturing their handicaps to allow them to win these type of comps
It's people like these that make a mockery of all of these events. I'm reticent to call it cheating but it seems strange his handicap has gone up so much but come the big event and pow he's back on form. Something fishy going on

If I was ever half decent enough to enter one of these comps I would check if any of these notorious handicap bandits were entered and promptly not bother.
17 h/c!!! who is he kidding
apparently these comps have amalgamated and have a new logo

"When it matters" also includes club medals with card in hand. What it should read is "When it suits them".
The "mindset" is a lack of morals.

My thoughts are to let people get on with it, It does make it harder to compete but makes it more enjoyable when you do beat them! I guess some people have bigger conscious than others!
Anyway Ricky how's your game?
Do you think that doing away with 3/4 handicap in these comps would make them become more inclusive and remove the stigma's attached to them? At least then all those cards would be sent back to home clubs and you would eliminate the cheats that play very few club medals knowing they can comfortably play to 3/4's and as we see, dominate or always see their names in the prizes of all the National comps.

Short game wizard with a 17 handicap.
Yeah ok :rofl:
Yeah ok :rofl:
Madness isn't it. He's been playing off 11 less than 3yrs ago and last year in the TT and yet when he plays off 3/4's of 17 he finds himself playing off 13 so well within he capabilities, its just plain cheating!

There is no such thing as a short game wizard off 17.
Especially one who always seems to clean up in the big comps, I know what I'd call him and wizard isnt the word!

Nice to see the TT boys backing him up.
Could the handicap committee of his home club cut him for his continuous success?

not sure if he is being backed, by what I've read and understand that the TT chopped him to 11 if he wanted to play, but in the matchplay event he has his full hc, and from what I gather he's been in this matchplay event previous years and has got to the final in Dubai, and on a lower hc then he has now? Now why his hc has gone up, only he knows that, but you got to look at the Matchplay event and ask why they don't do a similar thing as what the TT have done?

He must have played quite a lot of medals to get that H'cap back up to 17.
If he's as good as it appears he must be N'R'ing on the last couple holes in the medals, either that or he's playing crap intentionally all the way round which I really can't see.
I can't get my head round it to be honest.. Id get more satisfaction from a low handicap rather than the kudos of winning a few comps and a trip to Dubai.

Maybe he gets up and down for bogey 17 times a round and then hits the green and 3 putts the other one?

Just a heads up lads i think we were asked to be careful discussing some of the topics mentioned here previously by our top man ..
think it was this subject anyhow
I have thoughts similar to some already and previously posted but fault lies at the door of more than any competitor who can use the system to their own benefits ...
