I once asked my son who eventually got to a +1 hcp with a course record '64' what his handicap goal was for the upcoming season. He said he didn't have one. He said the better question Dad "is what is my current stroke average and what will I reduce it to", considering all game played.

Our faculty league has an arcane set of rules, a combination of match and medal. Every year we review the results and every year we find that the low handicap players have a slight advantage over the rest. The intention is to equalize the players so that they are playing against their own record, giving us all a chance to win by playing much better than average. And that is what happens. L.
