I remember as a young player single handicap players were pretty rare.Of course club technology has had a big part to play in reducing handicaps and now more people have lessons.
Also your handicap(in the uk) is only relevant to your home course and a lot of new courses have been built where i live.I have played with many low handicapers who just cannot handle my home course which is over 7000yrds long,but quite wide.On the spin side i play other courses and shoot low scores.
I was on a local course last summer and played to four under on the back nine(not for the first time) hmm i thought if i was a member here i would be close to scratch.But i wouldent feel like a scratch player because at other clubs i would be a genuine 3 or 4 handicap.Has any one else noticed more single handicap players at their clubs nowdays.:ukflag:
