Our cards have 3 boxes...index, HCP and strokes received. So, 12.9, 14, 13 for me. But faffy but we get there
Only the middle one is necessary.
Agreed but you wouldn’t believe how it has simplified things these days. You would think just putting one number down would be the way forward but the 3 boxes have reduced the amount of questions I get asked.
the bit in bold is as confusing and clear as the last episode of Line of Duty.
i.e. How did you come to that conclusion?
Its on my card. Sorry Colin but in Scotland we didn't use to give anything away!!Actually, "strokes received" does not appear in the WHS lexicon.
You shouldn't have said that. We would have all admired how erudite you are.(I know there isn't such a word, but I like it.)
Surely the index is the defining number... Indeed, why have any of them? Computer knows what your index is.....Only the middle one is necessary.
It is when you are not playing but not when you are on a course and playing.Surely the index is the defining number... Indeed, why have any of them? Computer knows what your index is.....
I guess it is like the professionals. Some like to know their score and look at the leaderboard. Some don't. So, some club golfers like to know how they are doing, some don't. At our place I like to know how I am doing by the 17th. If I am on a good score, I just hit 6 iron off the tee to try and play safe, gives me wedge or 9 iron in. If I am not doing so well, I am more tempted to get driver out and go for it, although that brings the out of bounds driving range into playThat from a playing point of view puzzles me. Do you try harder and play better when you know you're needing to make up on the back nine? And should I infer the converse, that you slacken off when you start the back nine ahead of target? I am a naive sort of golfer who just tries to play to his best all the time. It doesn't work that well, but that's another story.
Keeping tabs on your points is easy. Put a circle round the SI of holes where you get strokes. After each hole, write down your gross score, subtract any stroke(s) you get and write down the points that gives you. Or something similar. But it's so simple that you'll have been doing that for years and I'm missing the point of what you're saying.
