  I see what you did Finny, but I don't understand the purpose of it ... 

  Record a screen of you standing on approach shot ... hit short shot to make shot advance one stroke ... then hit full shot ...

  When do you record that? And who must record it ?

  Sorry if it's just a pain, but I'm attempting to wrap my head around the what and why ...

  Understanding is the first act of the mind ... Phil 101

  It is an easier form of handicapping if you will.

  You watched the video... Finny hits tee shot. Then hits an air shot on his second shot. On his third shot he hits to within a few feet. He would then be left with that putt for PAR.

  Had he not hit the Air Shot on his second shot, and was able to duplicate his 3rd shot to within a few feet, the remaining putt would have been for BIRDIE.

   

  Hope that makes sense

  A glimmer of light Don .... so the higher ranked player sacrifices a shot (air shot) to give back a stroke to a lower ranked player?

  Now that would make sense to me ...

  Otherwise , no I still wouldn't understand the why ...

  Thanks Don ... another Don

  Dang there's so many of us running around ... :-)

  yes you got it don and don lol

  higher ranked gives a shot away,we used to give a hole away but this is much better i think and more realistic to real golf.

  its the way the handicap system works mate between tiers

  heya Finny ... was looking at the spread sheet ...

  Under fixtures/results for Group 3 / Round 3 ...

  It shows Fairway Fanatics A as playing twice in that round, and Trans Spartans not playing at all in that round.

  Is that a typo, or is it by design?

  Mr. Pain in the *** Don with a thousand questions ...
