I will be doing just that thanks jon.
I don't get this winter handicap thing. Handicaps are there to be defended all year round or am I missing something. Even our juniors only have one handicap and the adjustments for winter is made through the CSS for each competition and not making up a new winter handicap. Am I missing something?

Homer I think its just something stupid our club used to do.

Too right it was.
I could understand it if your handicap went UP in the winter to take soggy wet fairways and the subsequent lack of distance into account.
But to play off a lower handicap????

I think it was because forward tees ??? Dont know stupid that isnt it.
I have to say Mono yours is the only club I've heard of that does it. I'm sure you can't have two handicaps - which one is your official club handicap you'd play off in open events

My currant is £150 and the one I want to join/aswell is £300.
You haven't answered the question. What is your official handicap that you'd play off if you entered a GM event. I know most clubs offer junior rates but a total cost of £450 to be a member at two courses seems a lot of money even for you

Homer, are you referring to the fourth post? If so then the h/c 10 is a quote from the second post by feary.

Mono you do make me laugh. Your course doesn't challenge you any more.... MY *** and ******** spring to mind. If that was the case, you'd be off +5. But your not, your off 17(when you feel like it) so how is the course not challenging you?
Why you want a short course? Is yours too long, not to much of a challenge is it?
Get a grip youngman!
(O and before the monobrigade get going, I don't wanna read it, if you dont like what I have just said, so what, build a bridge and get over it!)

Good point well made - thanks for pointing that out (I'm bad
) but it still doesn't take away this talk of Mono's about two handicaps for the summer and winter. I'm pretty sceptical about this as it goes against everything I understood about my handicap in that it was there to be played against and defended in every competition and that the CSS was the defining factor in dictating the degree of difficulty not the fact that it was winter golf or summer golf.
Does anyone on here have two handicaps apart from Mono?

Im a member at bootle currently but am defo joining mossock hall and dont know weather to renew bootle aswell or go to another different one.
Part of me agrees with TonyN about if the course wasn't a challenge he'd be lower and the two handicap thing still nags away. I can't see how he could afford £450pa to be a member of two clubs or why he'd want to be.
On the other hand, and I guess the crux is, if the course doesn't excite when you go out to play and there is a credible option to go elsewhere ideally with better practice facilities etc then it would be a logical move. However I wouldn't retain any ties with the original club if it were me as I would feel that is taking a step backwards if I was still playing there regularly.
