what do you think?

[marinemac]

having been off for close to 7 months ( knee op) i have now had 4 rounds where i have scored (stapleford) 23, 24, 24 and 25 points. Just prior to the op i was cut from 15 to 14 after winning amonthly medal. Everyone is pushing me to seek a reduction in the handicap to help ease me back. I want to stay and hope the game comes back what would you do if you were me?

Do ya mean an Increase in your handicap ? personaly i would never do that , id ease myself back in playing non qualifiers &when i was back where i thought the knee was better id play the qualifiers again & the handicap will look after itself then .. too hard to get cut in out place so i hate geting it up ..

thanks i feel the same way worked too hard over the last 18 months to get to 14 i dont want to go backwards

many people hit scores like those playing regularly so i wouldnt be too hasty in asking for a handicap review give it a few weeks at least to see how the knee holds up and some rustiness wear off.

i wouldnt rush to ask for a cut. only 20 people from 109 got 36points or more in our st paddys day open.

Stapleford or Stableford?

 

[garyinderry]

stableford off the back sticks in nice sunshine but half decent breeze up. twas a good test of golf tbh!

Get our for a few rounds but hit everything with a half to three quarter swing, chances are you have just lost your timing and need to build back into it.
My unprofessional advice

The only time I've ever consider asking for my handicap to be reviewed upwards is if injury/illness etc affected me and it was going to be permanent.

If it's just rustiness work through it imo.

You will get there! Get out in a few friendly swindles/roll ups. Don't undo all your hard work!
