Official Handicap

Morning all,

For those of you that read my thread a few weeks ago about my panicking before playing alongside my first competition so get a scorecard handed in.....i not have it.

I managed to get my 3 scorecards handed in....

The course i play at is par 71
I shot a 94, 98 & 105 and was given a handicap of 22 (which is alot lower than i thought i should be).

Ive only been playing a year but at least means now i can play in the competitions and my score means something.

Well done, it gives you a good starting point. Don't forget that your handicap should represent your golf on a good day, so when you shot a 94 you obviously showed some good form with the occasional blow out hole.

That 94 was only 23 over par, so if you had one hole which was more than a double bogey, that knocks you down to 22. Seems pretty fair to me.

its your best round of the 3 which is then 94, it is supposed to reflect your best golf not an average day. Good stuff get out and enjoy now. :thup:

Just a reminder that it is not the par of the course which is the benchmark for handicaps, it is the SSS (Standard Scratch Score). That may well be the same as the par for the course but that does not always apply, so your score of 94 - adjusted for any score higher than 2 over par - would be gauged against SSS for handicap allocation.
