Unfortunately club handicap wins everytime, this is your 'official' club handicap that cannot be disputed by any club affiliated into the same handicap scheme.

Various views on the flaws of the club system and you've have high lighted this perfectly given you play better than your 23 but haven't played a club comp since Aug.

We'd never let you in a Golfshake comp unless you played off the 15 though

haha it's not totally my fault. at my club you have to be single figures to play in the mens comps - therefore im only allowed to play in junior comps and our season ends in august because of school

My club handicap is 19, golf shake is 14 but like you I rarely play in club comps. I use my GS handicap when playing with my mates but any official club comp it has to be your club handicap
