Getting a golf handicap is a great way to track your game and improve. Previously, you had to join a private club to receive a handicap, but today you can get one at any public course for between $20 and $50. That's because the USGA has made it legal for public courses to offer handicaps to their members.
First, you need to find a course. This can be as easy as calling a course and asking about rates. Then you can pay for green fees, warm up on the driving range, and tee off. Golf is an enjoyable, social sport and can help you make new friends.
You'll need to keep track of all your golf games to get a good golf handicap. This is because a golf handicap is based on a range of scores. This means that a single bad round won't send your score sky-high. In addition to this, a good round won't send your golf handicap sky-high.
