At my course (par 71), the blues (typical member tees) are rated at 72.1/130.
The golds are 73.4/137. I try to explain to the other members that a guy who
plays from the golds all the time, and is a 10 hdcp (8.* index) probably hardly
ever shoots 81. Certainly less often than a 10 hdcp (8.*
I've been a member of public, semi-private and private courses for years. I'm
in a private equity club now. So I've seen about as many ways to cheat as there
are, and a lot of ways to control handicaps.
At one private club a member couldn't start until he checked in and received a

But if you practiced chipping and putting like a mad man for the week
before the tourney and were able to eliminate 3-4 strokes in your
round you wouldn't be your old handicap would you? Accordingly the
committee should look at your tournament score and adjust it.
I liken it to the player
I believe these odds are incorrect, and actually see examples of this
regularly from a guy who is definitely NOT a sandbagger. Inconsistent
yes, bagger no way.
My Friday State Amateur group has a 5, an 8, a 10 and a 12 handicap
player. We all post every score and putt everything out both

with them for money. No worries.

From the RCGA (USGA may differ) the interesting part to me that I
didn't know was the actual factors used to determine the slope, in the
bottom paragraph.

I was taught in school that the course rating is what a scratch

the picture for rating but it does effect slope.
You are correct.
Apparently you were taught more recently than I was

How long a course is the rating does matter. I play Glennloch Pines just
outside of Houston a couple times a year. It has (3) 9's We normally play the
Gleann/Pines off the middle men's tees
6474 70.3/124 par is 71.
I can normally shoot around 85-86 I am 13.4 index and would get 15 strokes.

You mean the shaft or the 12 deg, 40 gram club? I got the club a month or so

well enough to recommend it. I let several guys hit it. Guy with handicaps from
0 to 18.
THERE IS NO WAY TO CONTROL CHEATING IN GOLF!
