[RobBrown4891]

Ok i am 16 and i play off a GUI handicap of 8.9. I have been told that i would be off about 5 in america but i dont really know

ill second that, i reckon the usga handicap system is worth 3-4 shots lower.i know a guy from my home club who went to america playn off bout 10, comes back playn off 2......still cant hit a ball!!!!cant you hand in a card playn a practice/social round in the US???god id love to live there.....!!!!!! :rolleyes: :birthday:

 

 

does this count if i am off 1?:drinks:

 

17 uk

0.8

 

someone explain the "index" handicap system?

plz

[RobBrown4891]

Seriously guys. As much as I support chasing dreams, I support being realistic just as much. Let's face it. If you're not already contending in national tournaments in your teens, and if your handicap isn't already low, your chances of getting on tour are slim to none.

 

The chances of becoming a successful professional golfer are slim to none even for those top ranked national juniors. But, it doesn't matter.

 

All these juniors that are heading off to college are doing the right thing. They are preparing themselves for life after golf.

 

Any junior that goes to college to improve their golf game isn't thinking clearly. Golf games don't improve in college, if anything you're just behind two years on the kid who took two years off and trained at an Academy in Sweden or Austrailia.

 

You'd be surprised how many Nationwide and PGA Tour players were not successful juniors or collegiate golfers. So, I'm going to step in and tell every junior out there that dreams of being the best player in the world to completely ignore you - you have no clue what you're talking about.

 

Dream on.

 

 

HAWHAWHAW!
