Had my first day of league last night. It's 4 man teams and you split into 2 and play hcp match play. Your lowest hcp player vs their lowest and so on. I've never played match play before really so it was very eye opening for me. The thought process hole to hole and on certain shots is just different to me than stoke play. I made some stupid choices like going for a long putt trying to make it instead of just lagging it close, I put it about 5ft past the hole, missed that putt and split the hole instead of winning it. Being aware of what your opponent is doing was a big part of it too. In the end I think we ended up splitting the match but this was a great learning experience and prep for #THPLegacy. It was one of the reasons I joined this league and so glad I did.
Definitely a different game. Glad you are getting the experience before THPLegacy
