An estimated handicap will work. If you claim to be a 20 and shoot in the 70s, they will probably call BS. @mcanadiens has been called a sandbagger once or twice in this. 🤣

My best 18 hole score is 84 on Dales off the whites (59/103 or so I think). I typically shoot high 90s on courses that are 6000 yards or more (never played anything over 6500). What should I say my cap is? I think when I calculated that Dales score the differential was like 28 or so.

An 83 on Dales-White is 23.3. 99 on the Hawk or Eagle is around 25, so I would guess you are somewhere around a 23 with the 96% multiplier.

Good playing with you guys. Always nice playing with people who can tolerate you, so big thumbs up to @Bonvivant.

Always think we should give @Jeremie Boop something closer to a home game. Maybe one more time this year at Miami Shores, Homestead or Shelby Oaks.

Definitely turned out to be a nice day out there too. Wish I hadn't started off so poorly and/or threw away so many strokes on missed putts. I may have ended up getting some money back like you. It was great to meet you @Bonvivant, hopefully you can be a more regular member of golf forays.

I ended up playing the quota game again today on Hawk. We only had 8 players but I ended up with 18 when my quota was 12. Amazing that I can have 6 pars and 6 bogeys and still card a 96 lol. Five 7s and one 8 didn't help my cause one bit.

Yeah, those big number holes will hurt you for sure. Every shot counts 1.

I really was surprised that Duck had the quota game opposite the Zimmerman-Young event. That used to be a huge deal at Kittyhawk from what I understand. It raises money for a scholarship fund. One of the fellas I played with said they used to have two groups on every tee to start (which sounds like a bit of a nightmare).

Not much to brag about personally, but I did stick one inside 5 feet on No. 13 for a $25 gift card to the pro shop. We finished fourth place at -9.

    • Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.
    • Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.  
    • Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.
    • Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
