This makes sense. Rick was playing tough/ famous courses in his break 75 series, so therefore the slope will be greater than 72. Also in videos were Rick plays a couple holes at worsley park he usually shoots under par because it is an easier course. Congrats Rick on the plus handicap!

Playing those harder courses lowered your handicap. A few years ago I was a member of a course that had a 76 course rating and a slope rating of 151. My average score was 74 and I was a plus 4. Now I'm playing at a course with 71 course rating and 121 slope. I'm now a 2 with the an average score of 75.

[@connectlogic]

correct ..each shot at my course equates to .1

[@CarefreeAus]

Yes, great analysis, I was at a high of +2.8 hcp at a 133 slope rated course, yet felt more like a scratch as I shot around par 71 and a few 68, 69 and some shockers. On the easier course at our club with slope rating 121 I would still shoot around par... weird system especially under USGA guidelines

[@MJSchaefer16]

Daniel but it's accurate, it's not false. If you were shooting 2 under the course rating on a slope 151 super hard course, and now you're sitting 4 over the course rating on a much easier 121 slope, I'd say you were a much better golfer before and your handicap reflects that. Think of it this way, if you didn't have slope/course rating, then a 75 shooter at an easy course and 75 shooter at a much harder course would show the same handicap, which is obviously not right.

Wait until you learn to chip !! :) Kidding. Well done. I wish they factored handicaps like that when I was growing up !

[@ThatForeignBloke]

I have been playing golf in Sweden for over 20 years and they have always during that time factored handicaps like that. My mate however, (who is also an Englishman like me), he always says if you are 13 handicap you should have 13 shots and that's it, irrespective of the course you are playing and how difficult it is. Obviously that is not how it works and if you check the slope table for the colour of tee etc, that 13 handicapper might have 18 shots on that particular course if it is a more difficult course. I think it is a much better system 👍

It's always positive with a positive reference to a positive 'plan' for the months, years ahead. Golf is definitely a mind game but, if your teacher is positive then the positive way of thinking is passed on to the player. Thanks for a superb Youtue site.

Very interesting little vid Rick. Having watched all the vlogs in the series, and knowing the slope rating for the courses would be very high, I was expecting roughly scratch. I forgot to factor in that only your best 3 scores would count though. Perhaps you should record a full 20 to get a more accurate handicap?

[@mitchmalboeuf387]

Well done on the handicap Rick!! Boom!!!

[@neilwilliams9494]

The thing you’re not mentioning there though. Is that when you’ve entered 20 rounds in, the higher scores will start counting and your best 8. The “your handicap is you on a good day” isn’t quite right. This new WHS handicap is a reflection of your current form and not you on a good day (which is what the old system was really). So after you have 20 rounds in, and you have a bad patch and get a few +5 over rounds in, that average will jump up from +1 to - something.

[@ritchielogan6197]

Exactly what I was thinking. Need to keep going, get 20 rounds in the system. I then suspect it will increase a bit.

[@darthvader1402]

congratulatons on the handicap. I like the idea that your handicap is what you are capable of shooting on a good day. I for one hope to get down to at least a 7. I think anyone who can break 80 constently on any course is a pretty good player.

It is 8/20. But he only started posting scores when this series started so at this point he only has 10.

Congratulations. As a Brit who has played 23 years of golf in California under the WHS system, I’m not surprised. Before career and family interrupted things, I got down to 7.1 while regularly shooting mid 80s - I just had three rounds of 76 on tough courses in one year and every mid 80s round only added 0.1 to my handicap. Working my way back from 12.8 now after 10+ years without an official handicap due to not playing much. Rick was always playing the tips so 77 is a much better score than someone shooting 77 from one or two tee boxes further up. Even mini tour players would probably be +5 or better.

Got my first handicap this year so still learning about it. So I assume a +1.2 is different than a 1.2? Example: If some shoots Par 72 a +1.2 would score 70.8? And a 1.2 would score a 73.2? Thanks for any clarification.

[@LaurenceWhiting]

I also struggle with understanding it all but I think the +1.2 means it literally gets added to his score. so 72 would become 73.2. It's calculating that he shoots under par by 1.2 so it gets added on to even his score to par.

Well done Rick. Great content. Keeps getting better and better.

Really interesting insight into handicaps and being a PGA Pro etc., will definitely keep up with the podcast from now on.

Congrats on the 1.2HCP That’s impressive, sir. Hard work, practice and dedication pays off. Looking forward to next week’s break 75.

Well done Rick. Smashing it out on the course. Can't wait for the next break 75 episode 👍👍.

@pinned by Rick Shiels is this really you Rick? I don't know what exactly you are are saying, I have heard that some scandalous people are hacking KZbin accounts maybe you are being hacked I hope not.

I like how you phrased handicap, I don't feel quite as bad about my 20 as I do now. I know I shouldn't feel bad about that since I've only been playing a year, but I feel better about it thinking of it in that light

[@benbenson6486]

Being Australian our great hero was Greg Norman, it was suggested that he could have been plus 11 if he was a club player. We should also take into consideration he played much of his time with a lump of wood on the end of a steel pipe ( maybe a little harsh for the equipment of that era). Most important is the change in the golf ball from then to now.

[@carwyn1843]

I got my first handicap in almost 20 years this week, 15.6, I was pleasantly surprised. Got a way to go to get to single figures though 😉

[@jordonchin3964]

Wild stuff. Just shows how good those on tour are.

[@trem1980]

Totally correct. On my best day I can shoot about 80 and I'm now off 11 where it was originally bout 15.

[@Ingens_Scherz]

Quite right too. Rick never shirks the hardest possible challenges and is - not that my opinion is worth half a pint of spit, of course - a great golfer and coach. One thing he's taught me over the years in these videos is to take everything on the chin and keep going no matter what. I'd have probably given up by now if it wasn't for that mindset, and it makes the odd super shot sweet indeed. Fantastic stuff.

[@kylegerken367]

Awesome job Rick! Anyone know a good video that explain the Handicap. I’ve never done mine before and it’s a little confusing to me.

[@trevorwild3083]

Congrats on your handicap

[@robcarter8957]

Nice one Rick! However this does mean next year we'll all be expecting the Break 70 series of course...
