Ok, so now that's all sorted. 
How can I workout my handicap? Apologies if I sound all at sea.

Apologies for the mis understanding over scores. Doh how stupid am I!
On your scores of 110 and 105 take any score over a double bogey and round it down to a double bogey.
This will give you a rounded score for initial handicap purpose then take the 68 (SSS) away the lowest figure of the two left would be handicap allocated.
If in doubt post up here with card and we'll do
It for you.

There you go 28 is spot on at present. SI only comes into it once you get started as rounding then only takes effect on nett double bogeys in medal play as your handicap is calculated in stableford points.

Great, so now I have my yard stick. Thanks lads, I appreciate that.
Also it says 68 SSS for yellow tees, but that's on the par 69 card, it's currently a par 68. Will it still be 68 SSS?

Well I have very little frame of reference, but I quite enjoyed playing it. Couple of issues like the tee's don't seem obvious where they are, and the hole detail on the tee is not showing on both sides, so we weren't sure which tee it was till we got up on the tee itself, but generally no complaints.

Quite probably it will be down to 67 if as you said a par made a short par 3.

guess it would still be a 28 handicap though.

Right, first round of the year and after finishing last year (only played 3 rounds) I worked out my handicap as 27.
So I know that puts me into buffer zone 4. So, I've just played the Nicklaus course in Carden Park and shot 113. I'm a little confused on what I do next to calculate my handicap, even if it stays the same I'd like to know how to work it out myself.
Anybody available to assist?

If you have the scorecard, there are ways of working that out.
Otherwise, there are some internet based handicap calculators - even on other forums - that can do it for you, if not always by the Congu method.
And if you know the Stableford scoring system, it's easier to explain and work out - as Congu Handicap is a Stableford measurement.
With that score though, I'm pretty sure you would be 27.1

As good as any until you start scoring in the 90s
It's the US system which is quite different from Congu, but has its advantages (and disadvantages).
There are UK based ones as well.
