Used to be a 14, haven't played in about 7-8 years so I'd be lucky to be in the 20's. Don't even know if I could swing anymore with my back.

Put another way, I get outstanding per-shot value on my green fee

Nothing wrong with a breakfast ball or two....with or without mulligans?
My handicap is my clubs. If I threw the ball it would probably take less swings of the arm.

I was a +2.1 at my peak, which was when i was 16-20 years old.
Now, at 30, I hardly play, and when i do, it’s a lot uglier. Currently a 6.1 on paper.

The bad rounds never seem to count but this is my most up to date
Hit a PR today,
112 not great, but beats the previous 116 best
55 front (par 37), 57 back (par35). First 3 holes on the back killed me with 3 double pars
2 pars on the front nine, neither one had a single putt... which has only ever happened for me once before.

Only played for a bit in my youth. Don't think I've ever hit a birdie.
What a waste of working and playing for free for years on a five star course.
Of course now that it'll be expensive and time consuming, I'm hoping to get back into it.

how often do you play or practice?
Playing roughly once per week. Don’t have time to practice during the week. Looking to get lessons next spring. Golf season here only has about 4 more weeks left.

I try to get out until Nov if possible. Not the most ideal of conditions but it’s still golf!
The best I ever shot was a 83 on a random 18 hole course in Northeast Florida when I was 18.
I haven't played 18 holes since then (over 10 years). Have only played 9 hole courses since then and haven't been out on a course in over five years.
A good 9 hole round is around 45 for me. Typically I land between 50-55. As you can tell I go out with friends and drink beers rather than take it seriously. That would make my handicap somewhere in the 30's, I think?

Do you play exclusively at a home course/country club or a variety of places? I find it to be WAY harder to score consistently when playing different courses
We play a few courses. Today, the course i played was new to me. It was harder than the one I normally play at too. Some of the courses by me are just too pricey for me ($75-90 per round). I’ll drive 30 min to save $40. I’ve played a par 62 a few times as well, and generally shoot in the low 90’s there.

I’m pretty much the same. I have a collection of courses that I’ll play but usually I only play them like once a year. I try to keep my green fees around $45-$50 tops and have nice options in that range at the right time of day. Prices for early morning to noon on the weekends will add up quick around here so I opt for early afternoon to even 430/500 in the summer when the sun stays out longer

DJ trying to give it away but have hit a few nice shots in the past few minutes. Justin gonna get to 19 cause of the par 5 finish but I think DJ is gonna somehow hold on.
about a 12, but I've recorded one round in three years due to ACL, herniated discs, etc. I played last week at the OBX and shot an 85, so i'm still somewhere right around there. Lowest total round was 75 and lowest 9 was 32 (that was not my lowest round, so the back was way worse). I don't play for a while due to life, then I get back out and remember how much I love playing.
Note to self... not playing with you....

I haven't played much at all in the last 3 or 4 years. Never had an official handicap,
but back when I was playing once or twice a week, I was probably a 14. I mostly played
easier courses. Probably closer to 18 on more difficult courses.
Round of my life was a 74 and that was with 9 clubs in my bag and a club and a half wind.

I usually count the success of the round by how many empty cans are in the cart.

Just started playing again regularly after about 15 years mostly off (kids sports). It has been a complete sh*t show. Current handicap is 23.1! I used to be a bogey golfer. My last few rounds have been much better though. I should be shooting in the high 80s now. Two weeks ago, I had a 6 hole stretch that I played in 3 under! Par birdie, par, birdie, birdie, par. Safe to say that will probably never happen again! I'm just really happy to be playing again.

I'd say 11-12 but I don't have an official handicap.
Here's my last two rounds.

Not very solid iron play today.

Did I see a 7 wood in there? Curious as to why that instead of a hybrid or two? I know its all personal preference. I don't even carry a 5 wood anymore, straight from 3 wood to a 3 hybrid. I put in a 4th wedge instead, now I have 60, 56, 52 and 48 degree wedges. I really just use the 60 for almost everything around the green.
