I have been meaning to sign up and start submitting scores to get myt handicap established. I haven't signed up yet, but i've been playing a couple rounds a week and keeping the scorecards. Is it frowned upon if I sign up and then put 10 scores in at once?

thanks

Shouldn't be as long as they are truly your 10 most recent scores, you use ESC, and enter rounds in order from first played to last one played.

Shouldn't be. Try to keep the date's of them as well, I believe you'll need them to enter the scores. I joined a club and just started mine over since it used to be through that BS Golfchannel deal. It hurt me because they keep pulling off my low scores as I have less than 20. They were only pulling off 5 of them and had me at a 7.7 cap with a scoring avg. of 88. Try playing for money with guys who are borderline sandbags using that one. Thankfully I've gotten enough in that back up to a CH of 10 and trending 11. I at least have a shot off 11-12.

If you have less than 20 scores posted, they're SUPPOSED To pull a smaller subset than 10 scores.

For example, if you have 10 scores posted, they use the lowest 3 differentials.

If you have 17 scores posted, they use the lowest 7 differentials.
