When you play golf with someone how do you judge if their handicap is broadly correct and fair?
If, in a year, they play in 20 or more Q Comps then their H/cap is likely to be pretty true.
This is correct.If, in a year, they play in 20 or more Q Comps then their H/cap is likely to be pretty true.
Yeah..... Some people are just crap at Matchplay ??Unless they get 20 x 0.1's, but win all the matchplays, of course.
You can't.When you play golf with someone how do you judge if their handicap is broadly correct and fair?
Shep, I believed you until you typed "10.0"You can't.
I played rounds on two consecutive days last week, I worked out my handicap based on each of those rounds individually: day 1 was 33.8, day 2 was 10.0.
You need a collection of scores over a period of time to calculate a reflective handicap, one round is never enough.
However, having said that, anyone that beats me is still a bandit.
I did have to check and recheck my maths but I think it's right. 82 gross at Seacroft last week, I had a worldy (by my usual standards anyway!).Shep, I believed you until you typed "10.0"
Certainly, there is not one member at my golf club that plays in regular comps that anyone could accuse of being a bandit.
