I'm going to start this blog by an important change that was adopted this year and explained in Mike O'Hare's email to everyone before the start of the season.
Handicap calculation change
We’re adopting a handicap calculation formula that is closer to the USGA’s. We’re no longer dropping a low score and we’re taking the difference between the two side ratings into account. Each player will have a handicap index based on the 3 best differentials out of the last 5 rounds. Your match will be based on your course handicap that corresponds to the side you’re playing. It is very likely that your course handicap for the front side will be different than your course handicap for the back.

Re: Handicap Calculation This is an improvement over the previous year's rule. But it still gives a slight edge to the new players as most returning golfers score higher than the handicap they ended the season with on their first night.
