Brillow's picked up the club

[Brillow_Head]

Yes yes, I've become hooked on the game of golf. I'm horrid at it right now cause I've only been at it for 3 weeks, but I'm in heaven when I'm on the course.

 

My first single outing was today. I did a 9-hole run at our local club.

 

Hole Out for the front nine is 36....um, I hit 64.... I botched it up big time on a par 3 and a par 4 where I hit a 7 and 10 respectively.

 

Hole:Handicap:Mens Par:My Score

1:4:7:8

2:3:17:5

3:5:15:7

4:4:11:7

5:3:3:7

6:4:9:10

7:4:13:6

8:4:5:7

9:5:1:7

 

How do I determine my handicap? And how do I determine my handicap after every additional round.

 

Golf is confusing and I cant hit the fairway to save my life. But man is it fun!

i wouldnt worry about ur handycap right now. just know its above 30 (when asked, say 30+)

 

but to get your official handy cap you can find a course that will take the average of a certain number of rounds played at their course and mail it in to the PGA. The PGA will mail a card back showing your handy cap.

 

If you think you are improving, it starts to become a honor system type deal

 

 

 

tip: I would just stop counting after 8 strokes. Thats bad enough they call it a snowman here in MN. and

 

believe me, i know those very well!

 

one more thing: always remember to keep those balls clean

Nice score!

I use to hit a -10 on a 32 par. Not too good but I was 14. I havnt played since. So I picked up a golf club this year and lost 6 balls on 3 holes. I gave up. I felt like ramming the golf cart through the woods.
