not really I think it’s just there’s no bunkers around the temps ,tees pushed forward.So do low handicappers only win in the summer because........
Surely low handicappers are low because they’re good, not because high handicappers are in the rough, in all the bunkers, putting on sloped greens and the course is long.
Surely with the low handicappers ability the winter conditions you describe sound perfect for them to rip the course apart.
I agree that winter conditions will give a high handicapper a helping hand, but not a clear advantage.
Out of the 2 groups, one is mostly depending on ability while the other is hoping for a bit of luck.
This thread makes it sound as if once winter comes low handicappers lose their ability to hit a fairway, forget their club distances and the ability to putt.
Most high cappers make to many bad decisions on full length course, but in winter there is very little trouble to get into.
Low men just play their own game but can be tempted to go for greens off short tees.
Dont think anyone has a clear advantage it’s just a nice day out.
I think winter and short course lulls you into thinking you have got it sussed as everyone plays (scores better).imo.
But looking at next week there won’t be much golf here -6 on Merseyside Monday.
