Erm, is this right ?
I am currently off 25 and for the last two 9 hole rounds after work I have dropped 5 shots and 6 shots (with an OOB's)
Am I improving, getting lucky.......or a bandit ?

Its all about putting it together over 18 holes mate, nice scoring though.

Handicaps are mere imaginings used to either secure a job, money, parking space, or to cheat your golfing opponent into believing that you beat him notwithstanding taking 20 strokes more.
This made me really think about the handicap system - Many a time I have been beaten by a 20 or 25 handicapper and been mocked! Even after I have tried to explain "I gave you 10 shots to start with!"
Being beat by my father in law when playing stableford, even though I know I would wipe the floor with him if playing off scratch. When I suggest a scratch match play - his response "Well that wouldn't be fair!" Why is it not bloody fair. I spend a lot of time on my golf, reading golf psychology books, practise twice a week - putting, chipping, wedges etc. Then to turn up on a Saturday to beaten by somebody who plays once a month, been out the night before and plays off 27!
We don't ever give a lower placed team in the FA Cup "a head start" - imagine that!
Actually the more I think about this, the more I get annoyed.
Somethings not right here, or am I over reacting!
