What is a good way to warm up for golf?

I would like a very descriptive way explaing a golf handicap, what's it for and what it does?

  • Please give a detailed description of 1. What a golf handicap is? 2 what the difference between a golf handicap and handicap INDEX? 3. What are the purposes of a golf handicap? 4. How might one use their newly found handicap to improve their golf game? thanks, wayne

  • Answer:

    Basically lets take a golf course that has a par of 70. If you play a few times and average about 94 then technically your handicap is 24. This is now your playing guide so if you score par on a hole you recieve points. Or if you go round next time in like 90 you have improved on your handicap however you have to keep it consistant before you can lower it. A golf handicap is used to improve your game thus trying to lower it to scratch which is 0 par all around the golf course. Trust me once you have a handicap and golf often it will improve your game.

A golf handicap is a numerical measure of an amateur golfer's playing ability. It can be used to calculate a net score from the number of strokes actually played, thus allowing players of different proficiency to play against each other on somewhat equal terms. Handicaps are administrated by golf clubs or national golf associations. Exact rules relating to handicaps can vary from country to country. Handicap systems are not used in professional golf.

A handicap is the amount of strokes you get in a tournament its very simple. If you play to a 7 and the course is rated as +2 you get 9 strokes off your total score if its -2 its 5 and if its 0 its seven. You play 15 rounds or so average your score in the computer to get youre handicap.
