playing in comps....

i don't play in many and my handicap rarely changes during the some due to lack of junior comps. i play in all the men's monthly medals'. maxium i play 12 comps a year. does this really matter? i play a lot of matchplay with friends to keep my competitive spirit going. how comps a year do you play?

I'm going to try and play 12 monthly medals, 20 roll up medals and enter 10 supplemental scores this year. Additionally will play in Society competitions as I enjoy the social side
