. . . if I were to suddenly find myself becoming very interested in playing some serious tournament golf, then yes, I'd get an official handicap because that's the way it is and without one I couldn't get into such competitions. But that would be a necessity versus a desire and I think there's a difference between the two.

I know a lot of people will likely disagree with my way of looking at handicaps and I have no problem with that or with anyone wanting to keep a handicap for themselves. I just never had the desire to do so.

I have the same opinion here. The online handicap sites are good enough for my game and the fact that I don't ever play in tournaments that require an official handicap. There may be scrambles that might require them, but I've never played in any that do.
