I think it is a good idea to play to my handicap, maybe I should head that way... Like I said above though blow up holes really screw up my overall day when I just go for my handicap, as I can do a lot worse than my handicap but I don't give myself many chances to do better... I can't help but keep score, my competitiveness won't let me do otherwise, I would be bored if I wasn't trying to achieve something I haven't done before, that is fun to me. Although I do have alot of grace on myself and I think I set realistic goals that are challenging and that is what makes this game so fun.
