How are they done (guessing after 16 rounds)?

I've done 16 rounds, so I'll assume the Hcp yet to be calculated an then added to the site, so I can play in Hcp events?

In order to establish your handicap you must play at least 12 rounds in PLSA or CLSC events.

I should also add that if you don't shoot all 4 rounds they don't count any, it must be 3 complete tourneys.

Just to clarify

any an all PLSA or CLSC events

why I'm asking is I've accidentally played one round in the challenging tournament instead of the normal conditions :shock:

Unless you shoot the other 3 rounds, the one round will be disregarded at weeks end.

Just the first round

Am I allowed to play in the normal conditions tournament,

rounds 1-4 or 2-4 and forego round 1 ?

Rounds 1 thru 4. Forget about Round played in Challenging.

:lol:

lol 50 shots off the pace with a handicap, could someone let us know how hcps are done?

Or what am I missing when I look at the over all hcp leaderboard as above 50 shots, off the pace seems a lil odd
(I'm more curious than anything) ?

Your scores look quite respectable to me! I play RTS, too. If you'd like, I'll send you a few RTS tips - like how to fade and draw - along with a few saved rounds to play against. :D

Been a whiles since I played golf, I'll assume the old 10 cards, best of five has well and truly seen its days?

Its been many a moon since it was explained to me, and since the search engine here ignores the word "handicap" finding the thread would be too time consuming for my liking, so i will wing it from memory. Generally at the beginning your handicap will be about 4 strokes more than your average. Something about potential improvements if i remember right. After playing a few weeks it will be using your best last 8 rounds of 16 links tour sanctioned (CLSC,PLSA,Flight,Handicap) i think, i'm sure somebody will correct me if i'm wrong.
i'd be quite happy to give up 6 strokes per round since i currently give 16 :|
