Your H/Index and competition / open record…

[4LEX]

I'm off +1 but don't bother much with club medals or other comps unless pairs/team events. I enter the scratch knock outs and the Club Championship. I then play in scratch opens where you've got a much better chance of doing well. Bonus is you get to play 36 holes at some of the best courses for next to nothing whilst also meeting some great people/players.

I voted scratch simply because its surely the aim of every golfer to be the best that they possibly can?

Or have I missed something fundamental about the motivations of golfers when they see shiny prizes up for grabs?

I choose "none of the above".
I prefer to accept the reality of what I am and get on with it rather than muse about being something else.

One of the things I like about golf is the fact that we are all different, have different approaches and desires regarding the game, but can have a shared enjoyment.

not voted as options are loaded. You assume that scratch/ low handicappers never win comps except some roll ups, and high/mid handicappers do All the winning.
what a load of rubbish!
no evidence to back this up

Touché. What a load of rubbish!


The thread is HYPOTHETICAL. Playing on a ‘Winning vs Being Good’ - what is MORE important to you, binary

Created because numerous posts and threads on here have assumed / complained at ‘banditry’, high h/cappers winning opens, no point in low h/cappers entering events as WHS has enabled cheating etc…I’ve seen things myself at my own club

But the people I play most often with want to get as low as possible ie. as good at their hobby as their talent and time to practice allows..

The only assumptions i have made in the poll question are that people want to win and people want to be good….clearly in reality it’s not mutually exclusive, and obviously 28 h/cappers don’t win everything and no cat 1 golfer never wins a roll-up..?

It’s. A. Hypothetical.

Low single figure…though if I could win a rollup off that then I’d also be able to win a board comp - especially matchplay ones.

Did you read the question properly?
