im from southern il as well, down near salem. I just started playing last year, im happy to break 100 at this point, usually just play 9 as I play a lot by myself, shot a 48 yesterday on back nine at Colonial at Sandoval. I play a lot around salem and centralia, sometimes go down to mt vernon and play down there. Ive played the lighted par 3 course a couple times over at governors run in carlye and thats a fun challenge. I've got a friend who lives down by carbondale and I go down there and play probably at least a couple times a month.

    • I’ve been rather surprised how my original question relating to the logic behind “differential vs course handicap” elicited the responses expressed on this thread so far. I suppose it shows that there are many who have given this subject a lot of thought. I personally like the current system for the same reasons stated in the post by saevel25 and it works very well in our league. I just needed to get the reasoning/logic clear in my head so I could explain it succinctly to those who had questions. Regarding the ongoing discussion, the only tweak we make is only the scores made in league competition count. (We don’t use GHIN, we do the calculation ourselves.) The only additional thought I had is perhaps the powers that be can come up with a method, when doing the differential calculation, of giving greater weight to the rounds played more recently than those from 20 rounds ago. I’ve been testing this with an idea I had similar to the way colleges calculate GPA’s based on credits offered by different classes, but honestly, the complexity it adds to the calculation isn’t worth the trouble as any change made has proven to be inconsequential.

    • Day 102 11-21 Early practice session today. Flow drill, getting to lead side, and a bit of skills work. Really need to slow down and ingrain the "rotating" to lead side.  Feels weird-which is great, it means changes, I'm just going too fast right now.

    • PCC. This is the equivalent of CSS under the old CONGU system. I think it stands for playing conditions calculation, but I know a couple of people here know this better than I do
