BeechFL:
The entire club was trying to come up with some type of handicapping system, which lead me to believe that they would handicap every tournament. At the time I posted this, that is what I believed was going to happen. Only AFTER I posted this did he mention in his CC forum about only handicapping certain tournaments. And I could care less about what he or his CC does, but I NEVER ONCE mentioned his name or his CC name in my original post and that is the reason he and another person responded. That is my point. I was just saying I didn't want to be part of what they were doing, I NEVER mentioned the name of the club!
It's odd that you became disenchanted with the club right after you finished 3rd to a player that got just a bit lucky and beat your score.
You play golf in real life with a handicap but don't want to play an occasional tourney here with a handicap system? Then don't play those tourneys. But don't bad-mouth the entire club and its members and put yourself up on a pedestal just because you don't like the format of a tourney.
Jay and others are putting a lot of their personal time and some money (in the form of credits) to try to make this club a fun, relaxing place to be. I joined recently and I thoroughly enjoy it.
You are free to join any club that will offer you membership. We will remember your time there, at least for a few days.
As the saying goes, "I'll never forget ol' 'What's his name.'"
