If I underdstand you correctly, then no.
The whole idea is that if the handicap tables are correct, and if you always shoot to the same level...
...then the handiccap you achieve for any round will be the same.
Thus, whatever round you shoot, there will ba a handicap score you achieve for that round (taken from the tables). After you shoot 3 rounds, you add the handicaps up, divide by 3, and round up to the next whole number if necessary. That is your handicap
(e. g.
round 1: 66 handicap,
round 2: 65 handicap,
round 3: 65 handicap;
(66+65+65)/3 = 65.33 ==>
66 handicap)
Thereafter, each round you shoot, take your running handicap (66 in this case), add it to the handicpa for the new round and divide by 2 (rounding up if necessary to the next whole number)
(e. g. shoot a 63 handicap -> (66+63)/2 = 64.5 => 65 for running handicap.)
That is the basic philosophy. The only real spanner in the works comes at the end of year, but for the moment, I hope that helps
