So I guess my question is...what is the general consensus on super-high handicappers like myself playing in the tournaments? Do we even belong in torunaments? Are we spoiling it for everybody else in our flight because of our ridiculously high handicaps? In our club, they usually have 3 flights, and the 18+ HCP's seem to always go into the 3rd flight. I almost never see an 18 handicapper winning the 3rd flight...seems to always be a low-30/high-20 who takes it. It's almost like 30+ should be in their own flight.

It's flighted.. The best case would be adding an additional flight, and the worst case would be that complainer getting better and getting out of the bottom flight.

The handicaps are there for a reason. If he doesn't like it, he can play in the scratch flight.
