Does anything look a little funny to you guys?????
From my PGA background....I realize the purpose of a handicap is to get golfers (insert archers if you will) back to par (insert 300, if you will). The probablility of a golfer actually shooting his handicap is relatively low.
Why is it so many people seem to shoot at or better than their handicap in archery?
Just looks funny. I'd like to understand it better.
Thanks.
I think that's because of the way the handicap was calculated. I believe (and I'm really stretching my memory here) that an actual handicap has to encompass your last 5 tournament scores? As long as the rules that are set apply equally to everyone, as they do, I guess it doesn't much matter. It does make the score sheet look a bit top heavy though.
