starting a fresh handicap

[Wknd_Warrior]

so this year I got an rcga account. I started entering my scores. Last year I kept track on the system on this website, I was in the low teens say. So when I started keeping scores on the rcga network I was using the new 7 max rule.

It occurred to me, that untill the system spit out an index I might have entered a max of 8 or whatever it would be. I'd entered 4 or 5 rounds, had no score cards but had made a few 8s.

I emailed somneone at the rcga and they replied with a stock sort of reply describing the esc system. I clarified my problem and the reply was I did the right thing. I'm guessing either is acceptable, it's just the email exchange left me with some doubt, does this sound well enough?

It is possible to edit a score once it has been posted if you really think it matters.

That being said, so many people make mistakes on the system (entering scores from non-member courses, not using ESC properly) that I wouldn't worry about it. Once you have enough scores entered it's unlikely to make a big difference.

I have no idea what I actually shot

it's not gonna matter in the long run (hopefully lol), I want to try and enter some events this year so I want to be legit.

Thanks

Just a note. I was told by someone from GolfCanada just last month that any scores you enter from non recognized RCGA courses will automatically not be counted towards your handicap.
