Will the incoming 90% difference in 4BBB put you off entering these competitions at your club?

Golf is run for high handicap bandits, giving them more shots will only mean low players will stop entering these.

We only really have one comp with 4BBB
It's social games where it will be effected mostly

We have two BB events at the club, one combined stableford and one best score per hole. Won't put me off but finding a new partner may be trickier

Does it make that much difference, given that it's betterball? It's not until you reach Cat 4 handicaps that the shots gained (moving from 0.75 > 0.9) is more than 2, and the vast majority of cat 1/cat 2 players are gaining a shot themselves anyway.

I suspect as pointed out, it'll be the low handicappers that dislike this. I can't remember the last time I got shots in matchplay.
3/4 makes it fair, giving more shots to people won't be pleasant.

why does 3/4 make it fair when the statistics actually prove that to be equal the difference should be 105%

Its not the 90% or the 3/4 that's the problem its the bandits , if handicaps were honest it wouldn't be an issue , genuine 8 plays a genuine 18, or genuine 4 v genuine 20 the game could go either was as both have different ability , bandits will adjust, no matter what the % differences are.. harsh but true
But the thread is will it put u off playing in them or not after the change

4bbb match play is my favourite form of the game. It won't prevent me playing.
Of course off 11 I am receiving shots about as often as I am giving them.

yes it was biased years ago towards the low hc's, but now it's gone the complete opposite....... They may as well give 100%. I got stuffed 3&2 by a 13&14 hc and they got 8 shots each, next year at 90% they'll get 10 shots each........ So nope, I won't play in them no more.

Low h/cap golfers sadly forget where they started.
But is there certain h/ c level when they start to grudge giving shots to genuine h/ c players??? (bandits exclude).
IMO nobody should get 2shots at any hole.
:rofl:.
But I do love winning against young whippersnapper low h/ c golfers,:smirk:
I love getting shots especially in a glass.

No, because at most it only makes a shot or two difference. I might try to find a good high handicap partner though!
