Having just joined a golf club, I wonder if Forumers could point out a few basic things about obtaining a handicap, as I am little confused but some parts of it.
I know some of the basics about getting a handicap, i.e. playing with another club member, handing in three marked cards etc, but was wondering how this works in practise in a little more detail.
As I understand I would have to mark the score on my own card, would I also need to mark the score of my playing partner too? Would my playing partner also mark my score on their card, or would they just sign my scored card at the end of the round?
Also, I know this may differ from club to club, but could I carry out my own handicap marking when playing with others who are playing in a comp, or could marking for handicap only be done when playing a "friendly" round? If the others are playing in a comp then should I mark their scores on my card too?
Thanks for the info,
