Hi! Just went from interm to adv level on the cdt tour. One thing I dont understand thou is why my hcp on interm level was set on -7 and suddenly went up to -10 on adv? Another thing I cant figure out is why some players ranked over 2000 has a hcp set for -1. Doesnt make any sence for me! Can someone give me a good answer?

rank has nothing to do with hcp used at CDT
that's just a +/- of points gained or lost during rated match play

Yes I understand that thing but it doesnt explain the huge difference in hcp between players. If I have to play 40 strokes better over a tourney of 4 rounds against a player equal my own ability its feels like a "mission impossible". The hcp set for different players seems to have nothing to do with the players ability then. What "facts" is used to decide the hcp for a player?

Scoring is what is used to set a handicap.

don't equate easo rating with ability, it's more of a loud obnoxious t-shirt than anything else

EASO rating is more of an experience indicator than skill indicator. The more you play the better your rating will get is the general rule. It is like tokens really. Totally worthless and meaningless except to those who like to show it off.

you can be 'good'
but if you play rated games against a 'better' player and lose, you're rating will drop
... yet you could still be shooting arcade scores
