Re: Hang onto your handicaps!!

Navy is spot on the money here...

I think we all know a low marker whose number is inflated (or should that be deflated) because they don't submit all cards for all rounds played.

The other method I have heard of is that the low number man carries memberships at more than one club and then picks his home course as the one he always has good numbers on and then cards from other courses just don't get turned in.

We have such a player in our club, he claims a 2 handicap (1 point something, or so he says) but I haven't seen him shoot anything lower than a net 76 at our course. I have played with him once and whilst he "looks" a good golfer, his abilities are more a 5-10 than a scratch - 4.

OK, that's my whinge for the day...

Cheers
