As a nomadic golfer, I’ve long been fascinated by general play scores and the perception of them with the club member community. From my conversations and observations, I’ve come to the conclusion they’re considered something of a taboo by those who are attached to one particular club.
It’s an interesting phenomenon. The R&A and USGA encourage submission of general play scores as often as possible – thereby implying credibility – but it seems various clubs and county unions have an issue with too many general play scores on someone’s handicap record and are quietly rebelling.
