Mine is 28-34 currently, (I haven't broken 100 since 2000) but that is because I don't get out enough anymore. In the past, when I was playing 3-4x a week, it was as low as 15.
There's almost a Zen quality to Golf. It can be competitive, but ultimately, it's you against yourself. Everything that can go wrong on a course is ultimately attributable to an error in stance, swing, or follow-through. It is very metaphoric of life itself actually.
Actually, I have a built-in excuse - had shoulder surgery many moons ago and found out, at a driving range for the first time with a friend, that I could not follow through on a swing. Putt-putt anyone?
I used to play golf, I had to take it up just to be able to see my ex from time to time!! A golf-widow otherwise. Never really aquired a good handicap, did get a hole in one on occasions. I had a lovely set of lady's Mizuno's too!
The better the handicap, the more disposable time you have, clearly!! I'm with Mark Twain on that one... "a good walk spoiled"!
A little work needed on the handicap, yes, but it'll come. As I say one's handicap is an indication of just how much time one is able to spend on the golfcourse and get better at it. I knew a chap who had a handicap of 4!! Virtually semi-pro maybe but how could he ever have been in the office, eh???
A good walk spoiled??? Well, 9 holes on a nice day was fine but 18 holes in a blizzard!!! They must be nuts!! Bit log fire and a nice bottle wine for me......
Mind you the "blizzards" when I've been sailing.......
I started playing golf about 10 years ago and now I love it I wish I could get out more often , work and not so good low back plus golf season in Edmonton is prety short. Nothing better than 4 h walk and chalenging course good buddy's My handicap is 14 to 18 at one time when I played more often it was 10to 14 . Happy golfing everyone !
yeah I golf, not as much as in the past but i've freinds that will treat me everynow and then. was a 16 handicap once now I'm the guy who appraoches the 19th with an M T ball bag but i can still awe some with my chip shot.
