What is your handicap?
In keeping with the thread about how much we all make per month, what is your golf handicap?
I am generally a 10 in the USGA system. in 2006 I got down to 7, but only played 3 times in 2007 and did not break 90. Crazy. I really need to play about 2-3 times a week to maintain high single-digit. Once a week will keep me at 10-11. The difference is the short game. When I play a lot, my short game is on and I can get up and down. When I play less often I lose the touch. I play kind of old-school equipment, with an 8-year old Titleist 975J driver and Titleist blades in my bag. |

I have a couple. First is my Wilson Persimmons; on several the powered lead leaked out the bottom of the woods...
 The other handicap is I leant my Callaway's to a co-worker, who got a new job and disappeared. So I've taken Tennis back up as a sport.

I know what you mean about playing a bunch to stay sharp, makes a huge difference. If you want to play even less, do what I do, become a PGA Golf Professional.

11-13 hcp. Play 1-2 times per week.... Ping irons, King Cobra driver, and I like the Nike balls.
Funny, whenever I play with so called 5-8 hcps, they usually shoot about the same or worse than me....which tells me people overstate their hcp's all the time.

I once went out with a couple of foursomes of good buddies. I was a solid 11 at the time, although I hadn't played for 3 months. I shot a 114. The USGA system is too easy to fudge either way. Sandbagging is way too easy, as well as a vanity handicap. It should be based on tournament play only. |

I'm playing off a 12 right now. It went up a bloody stroke in 6 months.
I just finished my 2 month hiatus and now golf season is starting back up at school. Time for everyday play again! BTW I know I haven't posted in a while, but I have been lurking. Hopefully everyone is doing great. Tyler

It ain't hard being an 8 and shooting the occasional 90. If you post enought scores, only low 10 or whatnot count plus 90% differential. My son is +1 and he throws the odd 80 in there. You should hardly ever play to your handicap. I do agree that tournament scores should be weighted heavier. Anyway, it's a great game, I've played off and on since I was 14. You can learn a lot about a person on the golf course.

The cocktail handicaps are always fun to play/bet with.

I love golf. My mode score is probably about 78, but I don't play regularly, and I can be all over the place.
When I used to play regularly at the same course, I was a pretty solid 4 or 5. Now I mostly just play when I'm traveling, and only for fun (and side bets, of course). So I'm far less consistent. Oh yeah, clubs. Titlest driver. Mizuno T-Zoid Pro forged irons. Vokey wedges. |
