Any of you play frequently on here? Interested to know if there's any decent handicaps on here
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Is 24 decent?
Nah joking, that's my pitch and putt handicap
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nobody's judging a high handicap. Its all about what you get from the game and you can enjoy it just as much at a higher handicap.
I used to play off 5 but work and a wife has put that to bed. Had a round the other week at Ilford golf club and shot a 76. Only a par 68 short course but pretty pleased with that considering I'm rusty
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I am pretty poor to be fair. Never had lessons and I do get frustrated but I can be inconsistent at best.
Every drive I ever hit loos perfect for 2 seconds then fades (think that's the ride term?) to the right big time
I've had loads of lessons and I'm still chit

Technically you only have to be off 6 but your average 6 handicapper isn't at pro level. More like scratch in order to qualify
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Scratch now probably isn't good enoug, there are so many + handicaps out there.
also given the length of professional courses being +2 at a 6000 yard course probably wouldn't translate well to a 7000 yard one

Depends on how quick your swing is or how whippy your shaft is (ooer) maybe you need a stiffer shaft
So you guys playing off 5, did it ever cross your minds?
It's not a fade Bake, it's a slice.

Agreed. 2 of my mates are pros in essex and one plays on the European tour. I was just as good as them when I was younger but didn't have the dedication that they had as I was more interested in playing football

slice is the big high right, most common miss. there are a couple moves that cause it and they are easy enough to fix.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yea I knew I had a 50/50 chance in getting it right and went for the wrong option.
But yea that's my biggest issue. Short game not so bad until I get the putter out

No not at all. I was never good enough to be pro. Just because you reach 1-5 handicap, it's not worth it unless you want to either become somebody who teaches lessons or goes for Q school

Fair play mate. Worth a shot. My mate made it through q school to the challenge tour and is now a staple on the European tour, despite not winning yet

Lots of people high handicaps have hit the ball massive distances.
Carry is what makes the difference,
417 yard is ridiculous. At the range I get to around 300 yards give or take 10 yards. Obviously if I ma on a course and down hill, down wind I could probably do 350
