Season's Goal Achieved at the last gasp attempt!!!

I have a hard time understanding our handicap system over here. My cap has shot up since playing more difficult courses. The difference in my scores is as much as 20strokes from a 6000yd. 116 slope to a 6900yd. 137 slope. I could be a sub 5 in less than 2 months if I found a course short course with slow, easy greens and be able to hit approach shots unimpeded from adjacent fairways. That's more or less how the course I was playing last year was. I could screw up every shot and still make a bogey. The greens and greensides were so ridiculously easy getting up and down was a cakewalk.

How does course difficulty effect caps over in the UK or Canada?

I haven't a clue what those slope ratings mean.When we play the course is adhusted for weather etc by takign the average of all scores posted,and this then adjusts the score expected from a scraatch plaey,called the sss.Nice and easy.If you play on difficult courses and your handicap goes up then your system is flawed.
