No, it's the best of the 3 cards, and for your own sake, submit the first three cards regardless of score, not just the ones you are happy with.
I may have missed this but why can't you submit cards yet?

There's millions of rules to learn too, but lots of help on here . Get your 3 cards in asap . no gimmies or sitting the ball up nice. Remember count ALL your shots even the fresh air ones.
It's a great game but soooo frustrating. Enjoy and the best of luck :thup:

Because I have to have them signed by a member who has been a member for at least 6 months, at the moment I am just going around on my own. I'm not in a massive rush to get a handicap, I'm enjoying getting used to the course, developing my swing, etc...
But I will do soon enough, probably going to play weekend after next in one of the Sunday corner things.

They don't even take an average. They literally take your BEST adjusted score (i.e. those rounded down to double bogey) deduct the SSS and that is your handicap. What is your lowest adjusted score from those 3 cards?

91.
So that would be 23 handicap then.
Just hope I can card that when I play with members. ha ha. What happens then once you have your handicap? How do they work out from then on?

Once you have your handicap any adjustments are carried out by competition rounds up 0.1 for a bad round (approx 4 over nett or less than 33pts) and -0.4 for every shot under 68 or over 37pts.
You need to play minimum of 3 comps per year to stay active or have a competition h/cap as is now or 3 declared supplementary rounds which are covered by same adjustments and signed in for in pro shop before playing.

I was putting in cards pretty much as soon as I could get round 18 within 5 of weeks of joining, and had to learnt to play first. Turns out it was wrong anyway as I won 2 of my 1st 3 comps.

When I joined my first club, the office were keen for me to get 3 cards in as soon as possible. I'm surprised you don't have one. Get your 3 signed cards in and start your comps, it's the only way my friend. EYG!

4 of us joined earlier this year and as I had a HC from a previous club, they let me mark the cards of the others to get us up and running within a week!

Well apparently I can get a club handicap if I get my cards marked and signed by my Dad, but my best cards have been on my own, and I even though I have been honest with my scoring, I don't really want to cheat the system. Whenever I play a round with my Dad its not as good.

When you submit your 3 cards, they will give you a handicap based on the best card. Play twice with your Dad, and again with any member and if the one with the member works out the best, then so be it.
A score you make on your own (as a solo player) has no validity, regardless of how honest you are.

That's why h/caps are worked out from competition rounds as there is a difference playing with a card in Hand and handicap rise or fall on the line.

Oh I'm not going to cheat the club, I'm not that kind of person.
Vice chairman told us last night that 3 cards signed by my Dad is enough for a club handicap, then 3 cards signed by members of 6 months at least will validate an official handicap.
I have got 3 cards signed by me and my Dad, but they weren't great rounds, but that's ok.

Can I also clarify the scorecard.
I've got my card that I fill in my scores and my Dad's scores, who signs the Markers signature and who signs the Players signature. Sorry if it sounds a dumb question.
