I have a quick question about my handicap. I have a GHIN and have put in about 7 rounds of golf into the computer. I was told that after 5 rounds I would have a Handicap. What is going on?

I think I figured it out. I haven't passed a revision date yet. 8/1 is the next day. I got my GHIN on the last revision date, 7/15. Is this why?

That should be why, but I just re-upped my handicap after letting it lapse in 2008, and I'm having some trouble.

I got my GHIN account from the course I usually play on July 9. I entered the previous 8 rounds I had played this year plus the round I played that day for a total of 9 rounds. On July 22, the day of Massachusetts' revision, I entered another 5 scores. When I check online, it only shows the first 9 rounds. Fine, so I missed the revision cutoff then other 5 rounds. But my handicap is still listed as NH.

Most likely.

Is your handicap accurate and other than NH when viewing from your home course computer?

Could be a matter of transmission frequency, from the local computer to the GHIN servers. Our home club synchronizes hourly, but I've seen other clubs do it weekly or only on revision dates.

      New Maxfli Forged Irons - $800!

      By M2R · Posted

      I appreciate that you have taken the time to come back and update. Based on what was previously discussed I feel like the points were; forged, feel good, price, and possibly players distance. If you like the "looks" of those Maxfli irons and if price is a major point, then going straight to the source, Maltby, might make sense. Specifically, the TS3 iron. I was looking into this myself and found some reviews: Fit2YouGolf, Lets Play Thru, and ELITE FIT GOLF. As per your update I found the Maxfli to be ~$1300 fitted the way I wanted. Where the TS3 with the same fitting and assembled by Golfworks was less than $750. I suppose the downside is to actually hit the iron you will need to get lucky and find someone in your golf circle who will let you hit theirs or order a 6 or 7 iron to test. However, the way I look at that is being equivalent to some fittings. If you like the results and buy, then the fitting is free, otherwise the price of the fitting is a sunk cost. If name brand is important, then I submit for your consideration - THE BEST OVERALL IRON of 2024...... FACT !! 😉 A bit tongue in cheek that but also, I feel some good points were discussed.
