    I think they should have a much more complicated system and not release the details to the public.

    Lucky card draw, and you have to be present to claim your prize.

    That's handicapping and low bar sales problems fixed.

    Next?

    Point 3. More people playing makes my subs cheaper.
    Point 4. Who gives a shit - they are not in my grade.
    Point 5. Most sooks are in C grade and deserve it, bunch of hapless choppers.
    Point 6. B grade is where the burglars are. They are not good enough, so they work out a way to be.
    Point 7. Who gives a shit - they are not in my grade.

    Wouldn't the higher A graders be the worst for burgling? 10 handicappers who can shoot 1-2 over and win A grade easily. Makes it near impossible for anyone off 5 or lower? That's the most complaints I seem to hear.

    What about the +1 markers who shoot 3 under, makes it hard for the rest of us choppers.

    My pet hate at the moment is the enlarging of A grade to 14 and 15 handicaps. Some muppet of 15 shooting 11 over and winning A grade.

    Shits me to tears... if you want to be in A grade - put some bloody effort in, in the meantime, **** off and go and play with your other chopper mates.

    Agree, i think a grade should be 1-10.

    A grade 1-9 , B 10-18 and C grade 19-27 would work best I reckon. If your playing off singles you probably deserve to be in A grade.
