Most
clubs use an average from three cards to find your handicap, from then on it will get adjusted when you play in competitions or as a general play change.
This guy may have achieved his hcap initially but not played in any competitions. You on the other hand Slats seem to be going through a purple patch right now which will be reflected in your handicap if you maintain it through the season. I am sure you will get a good clipping down on general play if you maintain your current form.
