I'm watching the current market crisis carefully and can see a real golf opportunity here. I'm going to set myself up as a "Golf Investment Bank" and start selling HDS's (Handicap Default Swaps).

So if you were to buy a HDS from me then you would pay to me some small fee. And in the case where you shoot a really bad round I (as the seller) would have to give you one of my good rounds for you to post.

Of course this will all be totally unregulated and there will be no guarantee that I have any good rounds for you to post. So the government can then step in and print a bunch of good rounds and make them available to all the failing Golf Investment Banks so everything will be fine.

The way of the future

Are you going to offer sub-par swaps to people without even requesting a scorecard or handicap history?

Case - this the modern world. I will be offering a website where you can fill in your own handicap history with whatever information you feel will be helpful. I will also offer standard handicap templates for "5 index", "scratch index", etc.

Anything less would be irresponsible dave

Are there going to be government mandates that state that you must issue a given number (say 20-30%) of your lowest handicaps to minorities and/or impoverished individuals in the name of fairness? I mean, we want to promote good golf scores for those who may not be able to afford to play at a nice course, quality lessons, quality clubs, etc too, right?

I suck at golf. But, I would really like to be a scratch golfer. I know that I don't have much natural talent, and I'll never put in the dedicated hours of practice to get low scores, but I'd still like to have a single-digit handicap. Can your bank help me out?

You don't need a bank. You only need to be able to type. Just open a new topic called "need help" or similar and away you go. Here is a royalty free template.

I am a scratch golfer, but am having difficulty hitting (insert shot type here) shots. Can anyone help?. or I am a scratch golfer and want to buy a new (name club here). Does anyone have any recommendations? When someone replies and says that being a scartch marker the problem shouldn't arise, you can get really angry and attack the poster for being a "hater". Bingo...you are a scratch marker because they can't prove you aren't.

    • Day 8: 3/30/25 After some poor putting yesterday I worked on some distance control drills today along with putting through 50 mm gates.
    • So I am aware that "the committee is allowed to set its own standards of player conduct in a code of conduct adopted as a local rule" (rule 1.2b) I also understand that there are some aspects that are allowed to be entered, and some that are not allowed.  My question specifically is: In which form does this code of conduct need to be available? Is it enough for someone to say "that's part of our code of conduct", or is it a requirement, that the code of conduct is in written form? Also, is there a need that the local rule points to the code of conduct in any way?   For better understanding: I'm playing competition and the next course that we play has a "no smoking policy". I don't have a problem with it, as I don't smoke anyway, but one of my team-mates does, and someone told him "You'll get disqualified if you smoke on the course".   Now I have looked at their local rules and there is no reference to a "code of conduct". I'm not sure if they even have an official "code of conduct" that states that smoking is not allowed.   I fully agree that he SHOULD respect this request from the club, but I am wondering if the club would really be allowed to DQ this player for this, if it's not properly documented in their local rules/code of conduct?  This is an official national amateur tournament, so not just something organized by a club for its members.
    • A few months back I purchased the following swing aid on Amazon ($130). It is solidly made of steel and heavy and stable in use. I use it both at the range and at home. Swing Plate Dual PRO by Jamie Brittain - Swing Analyzer Aid - Fits Standard 8mm Alignment Rod Sticks - Teaching Swing Plane Perfector - Indoor/Outdoor Golfing Practice. This winter I set a goal for myself to improve my backswing/downswing to be more consistent and on plane. I had a two way miss with my approach shots this past golf season. I have a hitting set-up in my garage, but I needed something to provide feedback while swinging the club. I came across the Swing Plate while browsing YouTube.   I set it up with the correct angles for my 8 iron. I started out with just the back rod in place, which prevents me from getting too far inside on the backswing. Started out slow and as I got comfortable increased my swing speed. Now I also came across a YouTube video on building a better backswing and getting more width in the backswing and added that to my practice. That video is here:    This video is a bit wordy since you are basically a fly on the wall as Ian gets a lesson. It took a few replays to be able to get the substance of the instruction. It was well worth the effort. Over the last two weeks I have been able to get out on the course and gauge how successful my practice has been. Overall, my consistency with approach shots has improved greatly. Incorporating the added width in my swing has also added a few yards to all my clubs.  What has your off-season training been like?
