    Quite simple, what is your golf handicap? I am currently playing at a 12 handicap and really need to learn how to not 3 putt as often as I do.

    My handicap IS golf.

    But I love to play (or try to play). :eek:

    I just started playing 6 months ago, and it's about a 25 :mad:

    But what a fun game

    My golf game is incremental and a good shot is one that goes in the air.

    it's a lot. And it's mostly cause of my short game. Well, 75% because of it, at least

    don't know what it is, but I've been shooting in the low - mid 80's lately.

    3 putts are my nemesis as well

    "What was you golf score, the last round you played...before your shoulder was injured?"

    "Three under par."

    "Oooohhhh, three under par...That's what the professionals shoot, isn't it?"

    "If they're lucky."

    My handicap is about an 8, although, I don't have one established. Could be lower, but I don't practice ever and only play about once a week. I've been playing pretty much my whole life though, I'm 25. I grew up on a golf course and don't really ever remember not playing.

    When I used to play all the time I was around a 10 (8-12) now I would be around a 18 or so if I played 5-10 rounds to establish a new handicap.

    I sure do love golf

    That's simple: just stick your approach shots. ;-)

    I'm about a 16. Haven't done the official calculations for quite some time...but I typically shoot high between 87-93 on a par 71-73.

    Double par due to double vision, which means I can cause double vann damage.

    Why are you so insensitive?

    "Golf handicap" is offensive. The proper term should be "golf disability" or "golf impairment."

    This thread should be moved to the D&D.

    How do you measure yourself against other golfers?

    I'd like to think of myself as "golfing impaired".
