Because many people believe that when they have a scorecard in their hand it adds pressure onto themselves and it loses a little bit of the enjoyment and fun factor
Let’s all remember that not everyone is wired the same
I certainly wouldn’t expect away social days for people to put their scorecards in if they didn’t want too
Believe me, I've had this convo with SG when they tried to point out that anything "organised" should lead to a card being submitted for handicap.Golfers need to enjoy their hobby at the end of the day first and foremost- enjoyment is the key not handicaps
Congu will never adopt a “all scores count” mantra as it misses the whole point of Amatuer club golf
The option is there for people who want to enter their scores in social or society rounds - if people don’t want to do that and keep them seperate from comp rounds then that’s all good
What next - scores entered of trips away
I suspect they have a taregt to show how well WHS and their new App are doing, and a large part of that will be number of rounds submitted for handicap, hence why they've tried to get us to allocate CDH numbers to every member, even though the majority of our members have no interest at all in gaining a handicap.
When it's not a competition, do I want to submit a score? No I do not, and neither do most folks.
