i stay away from golf because

1.) I don't have the patience to learn correctly
2.) It costs too much for me.
3.) I suck at it.

Where I play its only 7 dollars for 9 holes... pretty nice course too. Also I bought all my clubs used, which was vry reasonable (considering how nice they are). Secondly, it can be extremely fun even if you are halfway decent.

probably didnt change your mind but..

lol, I was just with GW's tennis team today... (I dont think I'll get into East after the Manual thing)... good guys on that team, they all thought I played tennis though b/c my calfs are so monstrous, and my arms veiny from my frequent masturbation

Edit: I played golf about 3-4 years ago, then got bored with it. I'll play it when I'm old.

Handicap is essentially giving yourself a coushin to play at par

lets say 18 holes to play par is shooting a 72, if you played that course and shot a 90 you would have an 18 handicap.

so bleu is saying he could shoot an 83 on that course.

hit in the head by a golfball, run over by a cart, eaten by an aligator, you walk MILES, could pull a hammy, drown in a water hazard, get bit by a snake which paralyzes you like your dead, but you are alive and watching your autopsy about to be performed but you are saved because you get a monster boner.

Actually, to calculate the true handicap you have to figure in the course rating and the Slope (another rating system for the course). The reason for this is that some courses are alot harder than others, so factoring in the difficulty rating helps even out the handicaps that are earned playing different courses. Also, you only get 96% of the differential between your score and par.

The handicap formula is: (Score - Course Rating) x 113 / Slope Rating

Then you take the differential calculated using the formula - toss out the highest ones (there is a formula for this too - if you only have five scores, you take the lowest one - if you have 20 scores you take the lowest ten, etc.)

Then you average the differentials and multiply by .96 to get the actual handicap.
