Does anybody have an opinion about this? I am living abroad in Sweden, and here they use a different handicap system. Your handicap here seems more to represent how you play on your best rounds, not your average. The goal is to effectively match your handicap, although most golfers only hit this goal a couple times a year. I can understand why it is good, because you can boast a lower handicap than your true average. Tournaments are played with handicaps so basically it is shooting yourself in the foot.

The hdcp is set to show how well you are capable of playing... the average would be too skewed.. everyone has an off day here and there.

Most players below a 20 hdcp have 10 low rounds in a pretty tight range, so I don't see that as disadvantageous among the players.

Of course, get that 30 hdcp with a good day he can shoot to a 20.
