Not enough variety in the answers for me to be honest. I did it anyway and came up with 32. Not sure what that means but it wouldn't change how I do anything.

44.

Practice what I'm lousy at typically means I'm doing a lot of drills...

After I'm way down, glad I play with guys who are more inconsistent than me...

Rain ... it happens... but probably not to me in 17 years, because Marshals chase you off the course if any chance of lightning ... and the weather over the years has changed so it is more violent in my area.

Tried it again, and received a a 34, what ever that means. Is there a chart some where?

I usually practice the the tougher shots when ever I can. I don't need any surprises on the course.

I don't see myself taking lessons ever again. Did not take that many to begin with.

I have been down in several matches and managed to come out on top. Those are fun. Even if I lose, the match was still fun. I like the competition.

I am pretty steady in my scoring, regardless of how well/poorly I am playing.  A high scoring round is a learning score for me. Gives me an idea on what part of my game I am weak in.

Bad weather happens. Bad weather for me is a 2 club wind.

A pre-shot routine is a must. For me it protects against slow play.

I enjoy pressure shots in tournaments. I always volunteer on the first hole to tee off first when our group can't make up our minds. If my partner is down and out, I look forward to the attempted save. Competitive value is a good thing in everything.

A 3' putt is a test of past practice, a mental toughness.

Seemed to me some of the questions, although worded differently, were too closely related.

28.  Some Qs were hard because the only 'tournaments' I play are scrambles.

Yes. Right there on the page:

KEY: 20 and under: Chop; 20-30: 15 Handicap; 30-40: 5 Handicap; 40-50: Scratch; 50-60: Tour pro.

23, seems really low, but according to the scale... its not THAT far off...  Should I put more weight in the scale or my score relative to my fellow posters?

In my Stand Bag:
Driver: 910 D2 9.5*- Stiff Ahina
3W: Snake Eyes

7W: Snake Eyes (IDK why i love this club)
Irons: 690.MB 3i-PW Stiff

Putter: Versa White #1

Ball: Pro V1x *used and cheap/free*

34. Fun little thing that doesn't mean much. I don't come back when I am way down because I am never way down. I also don't have playing partners so I just went with what I would think was neutral.

Well I got 36, which says I'm a 5 hc! I'm actually 16, So I'm either doing something good, or doing something bad! Or both'

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
