What you need to do rather than try and argue my point illogical is tell us your thoughts on it.
Well, that was my thought on it - that what you were saying was illogical. Your view is also based on what is probably a false premise - ie that putting in supplementary scores is a "fast track" to a lower handicap. The supposition that somehow it is easier to score better than in a medal would need some evidence to support it: so far it has gained little to no support in this thread. My thoughts on that have already been voiced: playing with a card to be marked is just the same to me in a medal or a supplementary and the supplementary can well be tougher since you are being measured against the SSS rather than a CSS which should reflect the relative difficulty of the conditions of the day.
And to be honest, I am bewildered by this concern. Golf forums tend to be well stuffed with moans about bandits who protect their handicaps in order to succeed in match play competitions. I'm not sure why we should be concerned about or criticise anyone who wants to pursue the worthier aim of playing better and reducing his/her handicap by supplementing medal rounds or even by only putting in supplementaries. As has been said, the more cards you submit the better a reflection your handicap is of your playing level.
