The new handicapping system was in operation today for the first time and everything worked ok. We played a stroke comp for the Monthly Medal in conjunction with a stableford. This is the recommendation of Golf Australia and allows players that have a very bad hole in an otherwise good round to have a chance to win a comp. It isnecessary to concentrate and not to pick the ball up if you miss 'that' putt. I did and so did my playing partner. Just a momentary lapse. Noel Symonds was playing in our group and his drives all day (with i exception) were straight down the middle. He scored 3 '3 pointers' in a row and won the C grade medal
I have posted an update on the handicapping system in the 'BGC News' blog. click here to see it.
