Our handicap system when you enter 9 hole rounds it waits until you enter another 9 hole round and combines the two. In my case I usually only play quick 9 hole rounds.

I enter every score I play and right after the round I enter my 9 hole score. It is common for most players and even myself to shoot better just playing 9 holes. When I play a 38 yesterday and a 38 today it makes a 76 in the computer which is probably lower than I usually shoot.

How do you feel about entering 9 hole rounds. Do you think it is a sneaky or almost "unfair" way of lowering your handicap?

Dent, in some ways I agree with you. Its rare for me to shoot below 72 for 18 holes, but according to GHIN I have done it 3-4 times this year because of 9 hole rounds. It brought my index down to a full point after the last one. But I still enter every score regardless if it is 9 or 18.
