Not exactly my problem, I'm under 50 and a five day member, so limited to 1 competition a week, if not working that day, not minding kids or just having to deal with general life.
I have consulted with my handicap secretary, they are snowed under with people in similar situations, so not just "my problem"
Saying "no offence" usually comes from people making statements where they know offence will be taken, fair play to you for continuing this trend with your inane comment.
you have put in scores which generated your handicap index based on the rules of the system just like everyone else...... in the world! they were clearly good scores and demonstrate that you do indeed have the ability to play to that level. just like nearly every other golfer in the world, it is unlikely you will play to that handicap anywhere near all of the time, hell i wish i could play even close to my handicap even half the time.
you seem upset because you want a higher handicap.
by the way.... welcome to the golf forum

I'm not upset because I want a higher handicap, I'm upset that the system used 4 scores to determine this, all four from 2018-early 2019, none of the 10 scores for this year were taken into account. They also missed 5 scores in this time. I wish I could play consistently at the scores from back then, but no hope of that. My worry is our club dealing with this, they have said they will not be looking at cards, but will let new scores amend the handicaps. Problem is there is likely to be placing for next 4 months meaning no scores will count? so possibly March/April before members will see their indexes being changed.
Will cards where placing is occurring be utilised?
By the way........thanks for the welcome;)0 -

By the way........thanks for the welcome;)If they have missed 5 (counting!) scores then they have to include them, thats a different thing than analysing individual cards.
As Greebo says, missing scores need to be addressed by your club.
But you seem to be more concerned that your scores from this year are not counting. Well thats the point, it is you best 8 out of your last 20 scores, going back over a three year period and we have known it would be this way for a couple of years now. So if you have 20 scores within a couple of months, your handicap will be very very current, if it takes as long as you to play 20 rounds, then not so current, but that's the system. It is also much more representative of current ability and form than the old CONGU system. And by general consensus, the majority of golfers agree that it is a better and fairer system.
You need not worry, your club are doing the right thing because as you add scores to your record it will wash itself out over time. Yes, we are into winter now with no qualifying (does it matter when there is no golf now anyway
) so it will be a while before you can add scores in, but everyone else is in the same boat. The system does not need to be changed for the likes of yourself who have their 20 scores spaced out over 3 years. 0 -

I know the theory behind this and do believe it will be a good system once bedded in. My worry is the club handicap committee dealing with this. They told me they looked at it, I doubted they did. They told me all my scores were in, despite me now producing the 5 missing counting rounds, which they will now look into. They told me my new handicap was based on 8 cards, not 4, despite it being shown quite clearly on mygolfireland page that only 4 cards were used and very evident 8 were not used. They also implyed that cards would be eligible when golf reopened, despite the fact that there will 100% be placing in play. The more I dig the more I have a lot more faith in the new system, but getting my own club to look after my own best interest is looking highly unlikely.
How do I go about getting the rounds not counted included?
If I pre-register a round on a day with no competitions, do not place the ball, can I use that score to get my last and 20th round in?0 -
