Normally, and to get an "official" handicap, the golf pro at your club needs to do it.  However, it's a fairly simply process.  You have to play several rounds of golf on a full 18 hole golf course and keep your scores.  You don't have to be the same course, but that is recommended.  Once you have the scores, total them up, divide the total by the number of rounds played, and subtract 72.\n\nExample:  you played 3 rounds of golf and scored 85, 87, 100 (bad day, that).  Total the scores: 85 + 87 + 100 = 272.\n\nDivided the total by the number of rounds played: 272 / 3 = 90.66666 (91)\n\nSubtract 72 (par for 18 holes) from the new total: 91 - 72 = 19.\n\nYou have a handicap of 19

There is an ebay type web site called www.golfclubexchange.com.  New and used gear of every type.\n\nAs far as quality brands to look for, Mizuno MX series are a nice oversized cast cavity back with a decent offset to assist a high handicapper with keeping the ball in play.  Nicklaus golf has some less expensive sticks that hit well too.\n\nMostly you just need to get into the shops and swing everything that you can get your hands on.  you'll find one or two brands that feel better than all the others and those are what you need to buy.  So much of the game of golf is mental, so finding a set of clubs that feel good and look good at address will definately take strokes off of your score.  \n\nDo Not!!! skimp on your putter.  I have so many friends who will spent $400 on a new driver, but have a $30  putter in their bag.  Putting is the key to lowering your handicap.  Don't be afraid to spend some dough on a quality putter.\n\nGood luck,  and enjoy the game

Yes. Thank goodness I had three witnesses too. It was on a hole that was only 170 yards, but what the heck. I had an opportunity to fill out a form at the clubhouse and answer questions about what type of club I used, what type of ball, shoes, glove, etc. It was fun and I had been playing for about six years when I did it. I originally thought I hit it past the green, but couldn't see until we looked in the hole. Fourth hole at San Jose Municipal Golf Course in California. Whee!

I've seen two different setups that have worked really well.\n\nFirst one was called "The Loop" at my home course.  Everyone just goes out and plays their own ball, and then turns in their scorecards at the end of the round.  The players were divided into two pools - the A pool had all the guys who shot around 80, the B pool was the 110 shooters, in your case - and the scorecards are drawn so every A player is matched with a B player.  From there, it's the team's best ball on the hole vs. the field for skins.  Everyone plays hard because they don't know who their partner is until the end of the round...\n\nNow, if the teams have to be known in advance, try alternate shot.  Whoever drives on the first hole drives on all the odd-numbered holes; the partner drives on all the evens.  Automatic two-stroke penalty if someone hits twice in a row (including knocking in that three-inch putt after missing the five-footer).  Just make sure the teams involve one low and one high handicapper, or else it'll get ugly quick.

Try to contact the coach of the team. To play, you'll need a nice, expensive set of golf clubs, proper clothing and the know-how of how to play golf. If you aren't perfect to play at college level yet, there are online golf tutorials or you can hire a trainer to help you. Good luck and get a hole in one!!!

That's tough!  Manufacturers sponsor golfers who besides having good standing but also provides a good future in the exposure of their equipments (e.g. Michelle Wie).  If you're an amateur golfer and has a promise of becoming the new Tiger or the new Annika - you might find manufacturers knocking at your doorsteps soon!

I love to play golf. Watching it is another story. It is really boring watching it for the first day or two but then I always like to watch it on the last day to see who wins or if there will be a shot out. I just got new clubs of ebay. I really never had a real brand before. I have always had knock off brands. The clubs that I had but are to old now are ping knock offs. They were good. The ones that I just bought are nike knock offs. The are the knock offs of the nike slingshot. They look and feel just like them. Thee hit just fine too. I got them off ebay for only 180. The real nike slingshots would cost me 600. So that is why i like knock offs. They are just as good but CHEAP. but woods i do have name brands. I have all big bertha woods.

If I were you, I'd shop the used clubs in your local golf shop.  You can find clubs that are like new for half-price or less.  Also, keep an eye on the clearance racks.  There's a lot of good equipment there, too.

Every ones a little different, you may want to try this. The first move should be to start the downswing by replanting your left heel-(Ben Hogan's-5 easy lessons). This will solidify your left side. The downswing 'motion starts with a slow and deliberate pull of the LEFT ARM...On an 'inside path' while simultaneously clearing the left side or rotation to the left (Assuming you are a right handed player) in a smooth fluid motion...accelerating in an increasingly moderated amount. By letting the left hand guide the swing you will automatically find you will clear the left side and hit a more powerful shot...make sure not to sway left...it will lead to an open club face and a fade or slice. May I recommend Ben Hogans 5 easy lessons as a fundamental base for your swing...A fabulous and very helpful guide! Best of luck!! J

I love golf! Practice at the driving range using your wedge, 9, 8 irons.  Chipping and putting are the key to the game.\n\nOption for playing with better golfers.  Go ahead and tee off.  If it's a good shot play it.  If not play your second shot from your cart partner's lie...explaining you are new to the game and don't want to hold up the foursome.  Don't keep score at first, it will only make you mad...really.\n\nRELAX is the ultimate key to golf.  It is a GAME to be PLAYED and should be fun not work.\n\nif you're ever in myrtle beac, I'll play golf with you!!

The club names Start with your Driver.Then any woods 3W,5W,7W. the irons have 7 clubs. 3iron thru 9iron and finally many wedges are out there but basically you have a Pitching wedge and a Sand wedge for close shots and Your putter. The names of the club parts stay the same. Grip,Shaft,Club head. Then the club head itself has names. The front is the face of the club the end is the toe and the end closest to you is the heel. Like a foot. The swing consists of so many parts but basically your "set up" is how you would set up to hit the ball. Then your "take away" is when you take the club back into your "back swing" where you come down is the "down swing" and you'll "address" the ball which is hitting it, then the "follow through" Then good posture, smooth swing back,accelerate through impact and good tempo(not too fast, not too slow)keep your balance. Hope that helps at all

First try going to different country clubs in the area and other golf courses.  Also, if your school don't have one, than go to different counties and check.
