Those par 3's can make you or bereak you.
Thanks man! So at 80% of handicap a 10 gets 8 strokes? Is this just to keep people honest?
Honest, and keeps higher handicaps from potentially dominating the days activities (their handicap is obviously rduced more). At my club we always play one on one at 100%, two vs. two at 90%, foursome vs. foursome at 80%. It works out very well. Everyone goes home happy and usually half in the bag .
