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.

All he buys are knee high wellies. It's harder for the sheep to get away that way

JJ. This is TRF site. It is not the GMP (gay midget porn site). I was wondering why you were so exicted.

Time for you to go to sheep!

Hey Ed, at least I was almost on topic. So I don't take credit for this massive thread hijack... :dumm y:

To ignore the fools for a second. Sounds like you play very well.

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.
