Mark,

Think I’ll mail the winner a sleeve of Nike One Tour D golf balls with the Dan Plan logo on them. That’s about all I have to give right now and hopefully will be a suitable prize. I think you’re right, might be posted on the 15th. I have about 8 rounds to date..

By the way… just to clarify, my guess relates to your first handicap that will be posted in a couple of days from now. (the 15th I think?)

What’s the prize for being closest?

Go get ‘em Dan!

Keep up the good work Dan, and good luck!

Paul,

I’ve done a little reading on the handicap system and you guys are right, of course. I’m not really going to put much emphasis on the handicap, anyway, until it comes to the time where I need a certain number to enter specific tournaments. Until then, it is what it is.

Eric is correct Dan. I’ve heard it put another way. Your handicap is a reflection of your “average Best scores”.It is actually possible to maintain a current handicap while shooting those best scores only 25% of time.
