Assistant Pro
I am a member of a very informal society and am currently considering taking over the reigns from the current organiser who is moving away.
As we all know the biggest area for discussion at any gathering of golfers is handicaps and our group is not much different - currently if somebody puts in a good score they are (very) likely to get a cut, a cut that has not got much in relation to the points scored! if I take it over I would like to implement a system where everybody knows where they stand and with a view to making things go round a bit. One society I played in had a system where the winner got cut two shots and everybody else got a shot back, that seemed to go round nicely with a good mix of different winners over time - another society had a system where scores under 20 got two shots back, 21-29 got one back and 30-36 stayed the same, over 36 points got cut 1 or 2 depending on their score.
Can anybody suggest a system to make things fair or offer comments on the above - what does your society do?
