It is always nice to hear from others about conditions, costs, weather, etc... The one issue I have is when the poster has not bothered to specify where they are from.  Maybe finish off your profile with at least a state.  And while you are at it, a handicap index?

agree - it's kind of annoying when people don't at least list where they're from in their signature (some people may not wish disclose their hcp & I get that, but at least posting where you're from helps make it a friendlier forum).

I would think that posting a hcp is less intrusive than where someone is living.

I personally don't mind, and I am probably one of the couple people living in the middle east currently along with @CraiginKSA (who as you can see put where he is living right in his name & I am waiting for him to confirm that I can come join him on the private course in Dammam, but that's another story) :whistle:

Anyway, the weather has been great over the past couple of weeks.. 70's or high 80's but in a month or two I'll be looking at dry 100*+ (it's a good thing we usually play right after the sun comes up so it is still in the 80's by the time we leave)

I don't show my handicap, because I don't yet have one. When I get one, you'll be the first to know.

You could always guess what it would be around according to your average scores though?  for example I'm around 100 +/- 5 so I put my HCP at 26, people that shoot in the 90's are probably like 18.. it's just an estimation, and I don't think it's meant to be official (although, some people do take their HCP seriously..it doesn't seem to me like most do)

Well ... It's a bit harder than that. I play a variety of courses and they range from extremely easy to moderately difficult. None of them are killers. With out devoting some time to it, it's hard for me to guess. Suffice it to say, very very high.

Oh yeah. Got to factor in the fact that I play almost exclusively from the white tees.

Guess where.  Clue: not near u.

Nice. Real nice. I do not comment on my location much and prefer that it remain a secret somewhat. I can play and teach golf year-round and I am in the U.S.

Look up "Usga course ratings" and if the courses are rated you can find the rating and slope for each tee box. I've made a spreadsheet to enter the round, slope, and rating with the HI formula. It's really pretty easy. My HI is accurate even though it's not official (and it's pretty dang high).
