There may be a lot of reasons and I'm not talking competition. What do you, or people you've seen, do? C'mon fess up, or just tell us about the friend of a friend :). The stuff that the perpetrator thinks is fair or believes is the rule.

We take a single for a lost ball to expidite play, otherwise we're by the book as we know it, although my partner destroyed a bush in his way last year until I reprimanded him for it. He's good now.

I had a "stated" hcp'er of 7 move the ball from an inconvenient tree (just paired up, didn't know him). I could be a 7 with that concession.

What about hcp? Other than a true calculation, how do you figure it? I calculated it online last year and it was generous. My calculation is the center of my scores. I swing between 88 and 100, thus my 22. I've been staying closser to the lower end for awhile so I might allow myself a point or so soon.

You're new, so you've probably not heard me or others say this to you. Please listen: rather than start new topics, please find existing threads. This very topic has been discussed several times.

You calculate your handicap incorrectly. Look up the proper way to do it. It's not difficult.

    • Day 120 - Played 18; much better than yesterday. Miss right now is off the heel of the club, so I need to sort that out. 
    • Today we played Pease Golf Course in Portsmouth, NH. Course was in great shape but my game didn't show up. I will say I pitched and chipped fairly well but almost everything else was very hit or miss. Cost myself a lot hitting an in play drive with pulling my approach shots maybe 85% of the time. Finally figured out I had been swaying most of the round. Only took me until 13 to figure it out. Used what felt like a much more centered turn and the ballstriking improved. 18 tomorrow using a 2 man scramble format. Just looking to contribute. Been a blast though. 
    • Day 22: Hit balls with 7-iron using mevo+ to track dispersion. Was out for a long time after work; 86 balls but the first 50+ were 50% swings focusing on top of backswing feel and then just hitting the ball as a psychic reward. Finished with 20 balls close to full speed. Pretty happy with dispersion and also no horrendous misses. I’m chunking my priority piece out into two separate feels, first and more important is the position/balance at top of backswing which is what I was working on. Once I have that engrained I’ll move to transition part. 
    • FWIW I never really had issues with the previous generation of Snells. But… I'm not sure I played them a ton, either.
    • I know Dean Snell designed the original Pro V along with a couple of other brands tour balls.  How exactly does the Snell ball have problems.  Did he change something in the design or is a manufacturing error since he cannot afford the unlimited R&D budgets of the big manufacturers to iron out flaws
