garyt1957 big difference when Typhoon is just keeping -1 or -3 in his head and me remembering +15
We could apply our handicap, adding strokes on the appropriate holes before teeing off, and using our "new par" for a plus / minus running score. Not a new approach to play, of course.
I do something similar for practice rounds before my next tournament. (A different course each tournament and the same courses from year to year).
I will bring the card from the tournament or practice round from last year and use that as a standard. If there was a blow up hole.....or two.....or three...or four, a reasonable score on that becomes an immediate positive result.
