Answer 2

10 and over. If it gets better than that you might think you can turn pro and golf will become a job rather than fun.

Answer 3

single digit handicappers are considered the top 25 percent of golfers. under a 5 is playing in your club championship and being in contention. being a scratch golfer, "0", is a competitive amateur, but most amateurs who play national tournaments have "plus" handicaps. this means you are under a zero. it is shown as +.9 or +3.5, but these are only great high school and college players. if tiger had an index, it would be about +8

Answer 4

100's average
90's pretty damn good
80's amazing
70's pro
60's Tiger

Answer 6

A good golf handicap is something you can shoot. If you are a 10, you can shot 8 to 12 over without much hitch.

everytime you shoot even your handicap it means you are good and wathc next month it will be a stroke or 2 lower.

in terms of real handicap numbers. for me, i would say 12 to 14 is good handicap. It is a betting handicap.
