Italian outcast
Hacker
Having moved back to France from Italy 2 years ago I've decided to play golf properly again (i.e., scores and Hcp etc)
For the past year i've mainly being playing 'bounce' games here and in the UK
So i have joined the FFG but its not clear what they do about a new Hcp for me
Their normal approach is to treat any new FFG member as a novice (in Hcp terms) - but where youre' handicap starts as early as after your first 18 hole card - basically your differential minus 2.
To this aim I'm playing in a "Coupe de Classement" this coming weekend at a nearby club where I occasionally play (but am not a member)
However... i did previously have an Italian golf fefderation Hcp - where my last Hcp (Feb 2022) was 18.6
The FFG website and app don't seem to have a clear way to accommodate this
I can access my scores - including my last 20 and best 8 etc - they are still in the Italian sysytem - and will print and bring to the club I'm doing this at as well - But they may simply "shrug" esp as I'm not a member (although in general everyone is pretty friendly)
Do any of the WHS gurus have any experience of this, for example dealing with an American who has relocated to the UK. Is it as simple as logging on the previous last 20 WHS scores from anywhere?
