rephases my question :lol:

As my avg is about par for four rounds
how I got to -6 hcp :?:

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 :|


Thanks,for the explanation :)
