I am guessing here, but I would suspect that 24.1 is your handicap Index and not the course playing handicap (under the new World Handicap System), so whenever you go to play at a course, you look at the ratings for the tee you intend to play and it will give you your playing handicap for that courseI think i see how it works. My handicap came out much lower then I thought it would. I struggle to break a 100 but after entering 12 scores I came out to a 24.1 handicap on The Grint. Basically I'm a professional.
For example, my index is 7.5, and at my home course, whether I play from the grey or black tees, my playing handicap is 9
But the course I played at a few weeks ago is rated differently and considered easier, so my playing handicap that day was only 7
So if you were to play my home course with an index of 24.1, from the grey tees your playing handicap would be 28, and from the black tees it wouuld be 29 (which would equate to just over 100 strokes with a par of 72
