What is ridiculous is the numbers themselves. If better than scratch is +, then worse than scratch is minus. So, to find my net score if I shot a 76 and my handicap is 4, is:
= 76 - (-4)
= 76 + (+4) (add the opposite)
=80 (But it should be 72, right?)
If my handicap was +3 then my net is:
=76 - (+3)
=76 + (-3)
=73 (But it should be 79)
Conclusion? If the RCGA handicap factors were described mathematically correctly, the current plus handicaps would be minuses and the minuses would be plusses. If you doubt my math, check the grade 8 text math text I used with my students.
Thanks, Geoff, but my handicap has risen in the last month from +1 to 1. Why? Yesterday, for example, I was even par for 27 holes, with 5 three putts. Just lovely.

We straight hitters have to aim up the middle, leaving us only a 50% M of E, whereas you drawers can aim up the right side and have almost a 100% M of E. Consistent draw - my winter project.
Left to righters, like Tiger, have an even greater advantage in that a fade is a higher shot that will roll very little upon landing, making it more accurate, which is the opposite to the lower flying draw.
