Handicap question

[scott71law]

Hi folks, handicap question here, does it reset each 'season'? In other words, do you count scores from the previous year for the handicap calculation? I am by no means a handicap 'expert', in fact I'm not even sure I know the rules, but I was just wondering this. Thanks for any info.

The USGA handicap system is a continuous process. If you only play 10 rounds a year, then half of your scores will be at least a year old. The oldest one of the last 20 drops off each time you post a new score. The best 10 of those last 20 scores will be used to calculate your current handicap.

Ok, that's kind of what I suspected, thanks for the info!

Handicap season didn't end October 1st in NJ. Both the NJSGA and MGA posting season runs until 10/27. The only place out of season right now is Alaska.

Man, year round in FL. No rest for the weary. I'm working hard core on some new mechanics to try to get to the next level, but it's looking like I'm going to have some good scores drop off the the list before I start posting better ones.

Perhaps I should move to NY.

Oddly were are year round in Georgia as well. Which doesn't seem right. I have played right after frost delays where some of the greens are still frozen and it's like hitting your approach onto painted green concrete. That doesn't include the major roll that you get on and sometimes off the fairways.
