The last time I actually entered scores 2 years ago I was a 2.6. I've played a [censored] load of golf this summer tho and would guess I'm 1.5 - 2 now.
I am a 26.1 after tracking 12 rounds on mygolfrecord.com
I have a question for you guys. Lets say, as the days get shorter, you only finish 15 holes. Mygolfrecord only tracks stats from complete rounds...do you ever average out the last 3 holes or so if you left early because of darkness? I have done that once, and feel kinda weird about it. I mean, i do use my own scores obv to average the rest out, but it still feels kinda bleh.

It's ok to do that for handicap purposes.
In fact, you are supposed to.
Ya, you're supposed to assume your current handicap and play to that. So, if you're a 26 and the final holes are each a stroke hole, you bogey them all...if one is a double stroke hole, you double bogey it. It doesn't matter if you're a 26 and -8 for the day, you still have to assume you play to your cap.

Exactly. I remember the rule used to be that you could go down to 12 holes (and "handicap finish" the rest). You can combine two nine hole rounds.
Haha, I'm not all that disappointed in it, just more sarcasm since 2+2 seems to have a handful of really talented golfers. This was actually my first summer playing seriously since I was 12-13 and my family had a place in Myrtle Beach, SC. I was like a high 30/40 index for a good part of the summer, took some lessons, and finished the summer with 8-9 rounds in a row in the low 90s (including a 9 hole best of 42).
I honestly have no idea what the average 40 handicapper would shoot. I just hope that I'm not stuck behind them, ever.
I don't know if a 40 is possible? I thought it maxed out at 36 or something.
Well, this was early in the summer and I hadn't had enough rounds logged to have an "official" USGA handicap so I was just using an estimator on the internet at the start of the summer. I don't remember my index back then, just that I definitely posted 3 rounds or so at 120+ before I started improving.
