What is the average handicap of a Golf Club Atlas poster?

[Shane Wright]

2.4 - creeping up the past couple of years.  14 rounds in 2009, 24 in 2010, goal of 30 for 2011

I broke down and got a golf net for the back yard to sneak in some reps between toddlers' naps.

My eldest has no choice and will be playing golf with me by age 5.  He has become quite fond of Open Championship highlights on You Tube.  We are trying out an osmosis case study.

The average handicap of a GCA poster?  Too hung up on firm and fast.

My handicap is double that of Lou's !

Age has a habit in pushing the numbers up and up !

[JLahrman]

2.7 , retired, 150 rounds a year

That's what I call a nice life!

He hasn't told you the best part - he's 26 years old.

avid golfer - men's golf chairman at club. I play every weekend and 9 holes after work most week nights.
Was a 2 at age 24, now a 7 at 59. Retiring in 2 years and interested in seeing if it keeps going up, or goes down once I do not have to work.

8.7 - Seasonal northern golfer usually playing 1x/week (sometimes 2, as 5 yo son allows). 

Game has a very high beta - index significantly affected by the best 10 of 20 rule.  Also index "skewed" lower by a long, but forgiving, home course (allows more scrambling than most courses I travel to).

Avid beginner trying to break 90 for the first time.

No handicap as yet but hoping to get under 18 this year.

1 full round and 2-3 part rounds per week plus 50 balls on the local range most days...

Welcome to the fraternity, Duncan.  If you keep up with that frequency, I bet you'll break 90 this year, especially if you can avoid 3 putts.

4.6 currently, which is down from a high of 5.8 this summer as I played terribly all year until the autumn.

Though I didn't post in the first edition of this thread, my 'cap at the time was more like 3.5. A greater proportion of golf played on new courses coupled with a lesser proportion of life with room for practice/play leads me to where I am.
