Handicap is a measure of your potential. Not what you are shooting every time you go out. Your handicap also changes based on the tees your are playing and the slope and rating for those tees. Example, I am 65 years old, from the old guy(5600 yds) tees I am a 2 HCP, from the member tees (6150 yds) I am a 5 HCP and the blue tees (6800 yds) I am a 7. From our tips at 7300 yds I am a 12 HCP.

Most people don’t know the difference between an index and a handicap. Your handicap is based off of your index and changes on each course and for each tee box.

Yeah handicap is based on an index which takes into account tees played and difficulty of course. More specifically how you score on certain holes too. It’ll calculate a differential based on that data. Your handicap is based on your last 8 of 20 best round differentials. So generally a 2.8 handicap will probably shoot around 80 from the tips consistently, a good round mid 70s and a bad round mid 80s

There are factors that determine this stuff. First of all your handicap is based on your like top 40% or so of rounds. Your absolute worst rounds really don’t matter for your handicap. It also depends on things like slope and course rating. A course with an average slope rating and a course rating that is equal to par would mean that an average of 3 over par in say 4 of 10 rounds played would put your handicap like right at 3. Also a player that can shoot like -2 one day and +5 the next day on the same course could easily have the same handicap as a guy who consistently shoots 1-2 over.

I'm a 3.0 but the handicap system is based on your POTENTIAL so if you have some really low rounds & then hack up others they toss those out. The problem with a lot of players is they just don't get those lower rounds thus very high handicaps. I added up my last 21 rounds as far as handicaps per round then divided by 21 & I am actually a 9 handicap if they didn't base it on potential. It's all about having breakthroughs so if you shoot in the high 90's you're going to need just a couple rounds in the 80's to bring it way down.

Why do guys expect the cheaper balls that are not made for spin to spin when they chip or hit a wedge? That Tour Response ain't stopping on a cold day.

Those swings are like 18 over. Maybe a birde here an there..but mostly bogies

I do know this one little guy who rarely hits a driver much past 200 yards that made a hole in one. He has zero chance of ever making an eagle. He made a hole in one once. Sure, the better golfer you are the greater your chances bc your dispersion pattern is smaller. And if you want to call that skill, well, go for it. But luck will do it just as well. Me? At 70 and getting out of the hospital tomorrow after a month long stay for rotator cuff surgery, my chances of another eagle are limited to only a couple of par 5s.

IF YOU RLY WANT TO KNOW WHAT CLUB SOMEONE USED, WAIT TO ANOTHER HOLE OR ON THE GREEN AND U CAN ASK FREELY BECAUSE IT WONT HELP YOU ANYMORE.

Very fun video

No way either of you are a 10 handicap.

2.8 is not 2 or 3 bogeys per round, unless you are playing very easy courses. Even then unlikely. 2.8 is probably an average score of 77-79, which is then adjusted for slope.

They might have to make a new level of handicap for me I think I could break course records for most strokes. Id be better off using my sand wedge and putters only

Technically.....There is a rule (Rule 14-2b) that prohibits a player’s caddie or "partner" (your playing partner in the video) from standing directly behind the player when the player is preparing to make a stroke, which includes both putting and full swings. So all those times you stand behind watching the putt of your teammate to get a read...you can stand to the side and then get over to watch... 🤣 In casual play...I don't really care. But in a tournament....I start to care.
