Re: Handicapping Rule Change
I am like you. My twilight rounds were mostly as a single and created my personal benchmark. I have no interest in competitive events so handicap is simply used as an indication of potential in friendly matches. Sometimes we use them but mostly we go mano-a-mano and frankly handicap differences have little impact on outcome. The disappointment is that this personal benchmark is losing any value at all. First, they started re-rating all courses lower to increase handicaps for same scores on same courses. Then they forced the ridiculous 7 on us for par three again pushing handicaps disappointingly up.
I am now no longer going to keep an official handicap since its purpose as a personal benchmark is now useless and sends me only negative messages in historical comparison. Soon I will also probably give up the game because the powers that be are only interested in making our golf life miserable. No wonder there is such a huge decline in participation. They just don't get the non-competitive golfer.
