New Golf Season - High Hopes?

[Golden Bear]

I'm still struggling to come to terms with the fabled "World Handicapping System."

I'm an auld relic playing from a six handicap and the chances of me winning a prize in a competition are almost zero.
I'm no longer good enough to pick up a scratch prize and with the number of members playing with HUGE handicaps then the handicap prizes are also well out of reach for me.

Under the previous system I always enjoyed the personal challenge of trying to save "point 1" in order to prevent my handicap from increasing but that incentive is no longer there.

In addition, we'll all know that some folk are submitting a load of scores for handicap purposes only in order to inflate their handicaps, wait until there is a prestigious competition, then come in with ridiculously low scores.

So really, I'm wasting my cash on competition entry fees and social bounce games are now more my cup of tea

Grrrr!
