Age and Handicap

[Hathstauwk]

Age: 38

Handicap: 8.0, soon to be +7.3 as soon as I learn to be a better ball striker and putter and improve my short game

 

Career ambition: once make above noted improvements, play in final round of major with Tiger and show Sergio that you can be graceful and actually beat Tiger.

 

If that ambition fails, work in an office for little money and try to play when my wife lets me.

the us handicap system seems weird is it similar to i think its the australian where your hcap can never go back up or you drop to your lowest round?

[Hathstauwk]

I should clarify my handicap above....

 

I WOULD be a +7.3 already but I get all this bad luck. The ball does not go where I want it to off the tee, my putts do not go in every time, I have to wait before hitting a shot sometimes, and sometimes the wind blows my ball where I did not want it to go! Even worse, sometimes the ball does not bounce exactly how I envisioned it.

 

If not for all that bad luck, I would aready be beating Tiger.

 

I am about to publish my book "How to Never Miss a Shot and Still Have an 8.0 Index"

i dont know if this is sarcasm or not but im pretty sure you dont drop 15 shots a round due to luck.

It said you make your own look.

was following similar mental approach to a somewhat famous golfer who seemed to have some self-described 'bad luck' on Sunday in a certain tournament.

This thread is really depressing me. I thought I was a decent golfer. :drinks: :crazy:

 

Age: 18

Handicap: 6.9

Career Ambition: Director of Golf/Teaching Pro

 

Then again, my handicap is based on 20+ different courses, I would be a 2 or 3 if I only included home rounds.

[Swingtheclub]

Handicaps are only as good as those posting them. Some people only post there good scores some never post there good scores.

 

I post every round I play

 

I am 58 and a 5 from the back tees at my club I think I am a 4.2 or something like that from the whites which i hardly ever play.

 

My ambition for golf

 

Lol retirement so I can play more.

[XYB34A]

I am 47, my handicap on the board is in the low teens. But I play out of a club that has the biggest gambling tournament in the state of Kentucky USA. If you dont cheat on your handicap then u get run over. EXAMPLE The member guest was won by a 70 year old guy with a 13 handicap. He shot 74 on the last day from the Middle tee's. If you dont have a desire to play in amateur tourney's and u gamble at golf. (I see no other reason for INCENTIVE in the game) Then you will get run over carrying a 4.1 handicap honestly. Try playing low ball, low total, birdie, all three is another point, then greenie sandie, woodie. For a dollar a point with automatic 2 down presses. OH and the one i love the best. IS the IN THE AIR PRESS. If you are down and the guys ball is going out of bounds or the deep woods, if you holler press before it hits the ground. Then the game is on. Oh and we always play 25 dollar hole in ones. So I am retired, and dont want a low handicap. Best of luck to all of the young men that have mentioned the great expectations for your life. I truly hope that everyone of you achieves it.

With this many teens shooting in single digits I'm certainly glad I'm not a touring pro. Which current pro do you all plan to unseat on the tour?
