I am firmly of the belief that all golfers started to play for enjoyment but after joining a golf club or society you are allocated a handicap and the competitive juices kick in and sometimes the original enjoyment is lost and people start massaging their handicaps in trying to WIN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We all have examples of golfers playing like a pro for 16 holes in\na weekly medal only to protect their handicaps on the closing hole\u2019s so they\navoid a handicap cut before next week\u2019s club major competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We had a member of our golf society who regularly played below his\nhandicap and when we cut his handicap he left the society claiming we were\nvictimising him and he now plays with another society off an inflated handicap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
