If that's the case I'm a ten twice!

Sumbitz! I checked out Statmasters, and it looks like I'll have to be sick some rainy Thursday afternoon w/ just me and my last 20 scorecards.
Yes I know 93-72 does not = 21 (and this is for RulesNut too, I read the handicap info that Gary posted approx a month ago), but I'm just an avid golfer who last year yippeed when I broke 100 and has now pegged as low as 87. Every year I hope to lose 5-7 strokes and I'll be happy.
I'm just making a point that you don't have to have the far-away 300yd stare of a scratch golfer to take it seriously -I know some players (and OGC members) who golf just as avidly, if not as well as the best out there.
I also thought I'd post a poll to see what the mean, mode and median average was of the people who read here-if not who post. I know of some not-so-good (in their mind) golfers who don't say anything or ask what they might consider stupid or inane questions because they think they might get flamed. But if they look and they notice that the board looks about even they might open up a little more. I know of a number of people who peek in regularly, but never post.(Hey, this from a guy who asked if it was legal to bend a putter shaft-and found out later that USGA had looked at it)
Okay I'm getting off my soapbox now.
JW:D
stupid questions.........
I hope to see more people comming in and posting rather than just viewing. I think this is what Dan would like to see happen, especially when golf season is two months form being done. I hope we can get more people involved in the forum and keep it up throughout the winter months as well.
As far as handicaps.... I play every orund with guys that range from 1 to 30 handicaps and all our rounds are a blast. As long as you enjoy the game and dont take 6 hours a rounds, the more the better!!!!
All this talk about hadicaps !!!
What about you (the individual) and the game of Golf itself? To me, golf is the most relaxing sport i've ever played.
However, I can understand how it can become very frustrating in a hurry... Why? :( because we're all worried about our :director HANDICAPS...
If you want to lower your :director HANDICAP just work on the simple things. For example:
1- Relax out there and enjoy the company of your friends.
2- Practice your putting and chipping every time you have a chance
3- Go to the driving range through out the whole season (not just in the spring)
4- And most importantly: :nono Never forget that : GOLF IN NOT A GAME OF PERFECT... and even if you can't "keep it in the short grass" its ok. You'll always go back again and again... anyway ...
Looking forward to see you HIGH and LOW Handicapers next Sunday:wave
Obviously Jimmy, everybody as a Handicap, however
I agree that you need to know where your game is at. If you keep score, you want to improve. But, there are some days you won't have your game the way you had hope. That's when you got to let it go and forget about your Handicap ... Don't get me wrong, I care about my Handicap too.

Attitude is the key but let's not forget
:director Courtesy ... as much as I play, I often hook up as a single with unkown golfers. If there one thing I appreciate in my playing partners is COURTESY... But some times I witness the opposite ...
:nono A negative attitude not only spoils your own round but your playing partners' rounds as well ...
:confused: Something to think about :lol2
The weather will be fine ...
Hey Spidey, just pretend you will be playing golf in the Highlands of Scotland. ;)
And I'm sure you'll come up with something to keep warm... :all_cohol
See you all (golf-nuts) on Sunday ... RAIN OR SHINE :tardmaker
