Handicap committee is comprised of golf captains, handicap chairman and golf pro, if you are computerized a printout taken monthly can be compared to tee sheet of all golfers playing and entering scores (the majority of golfers are honest and enter every score) but there are always a few sandbaggers at every club

O.K., HERE WE GO... TAKE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOUR SCORE AND PAR, TIMES 113 DEVIDE BY THE SLOPE RATING OF THE COURSE, YOU NOW HAVE YOUR HANDICAP RATING... ALL COURSES HAVE A CHART THAT SHOWS WHAT YOUR RATING WORKS OUT TO FOR THEIR COURSE... MAXIUM HANDICAP IS 36... HAVE FUN, GOLF IS GREAT...

contact the English golf union who should have a list of all the amateur open events for all affiliated clubs.\n   go to their website and at the top of the page there is a "for golfers" tab. click it and then on the left side you will see a tab for "open events". sorry i couldn't book the opens for you but ........Good luck.

I organize golf tourneys and run a league, here are a few ideas:\nAssuming your group has a wide range of handicaps.\nHave Closest to the pin on Par 3's\nHave a closest to the pin (2nd shot) on a couple of Par 4's\nHave a couple of longest putts (made) on different holes\nUse a modified stableford system for point scoring - with handicaps - I generally use 80% of each persons handicap to reduce sandbagging\nIf you have each person put in $20, you can then split it amongst the prizes.\n\nI also put on a alternate shot tourney - you all play the first 18 hole round then after the round you determine partners based on the previous round.  You play alternate shot with both balls and write down the score of the lowest ball.  This way everyone gets to play a full round of golf.  Again, collect X amount of dollars and then pay out the 1st 2 places if you only have 8 people.\n\nWithin each 4 some, we play a game called WOLF.  You can get information on the web about the game.  It is a great game if all 4 players have similar handicaps.\n\nHope this helps.

It is mainly by how the betting is going, but the first time odds are posted is because handicappers have sat down and crunched stats like who is playing who is injured where are they playing and so on, and the rest... go to vegas and prove your handicapping skills at one of the major casino's and you might get a job at it!

There is usually a large scoreboard by the 18th Green and to be honest, many of them are still mechanically operated. This means that someone will put a card with the player's score manually into a slot, one number for each hole. If a player is under par the number will be in red, if not it will be in black. Note, the scores that are put up are aggregate scores for the entire tournament and not the score they get for that particular hole.

well. the stableford system is based on points instead of relation to par.. a par might earn u nothing. a birdie 2 points.. a bogey -1 point. depending on if modified or not.. the ambrose system is basically just a scramble except the handicaps are added up and divided by the total team members

Put the particular member(s) on Moderation.  You can moderate their posts and only allow certain messages reach the Message Board.  Of course, this is all assuming that you are a Moderator with the capability of doing that.

to get two teams in golf create the teams and select them in different leagues. yahoo won't let you put two teams in one league.

Yes, go to northfieldpark.com, go to handicapper's corner, then junior's tips. Go into the message board and you should fine it there. It was rough to watch!

Look at your score card for the line that says handicap.  The rating of each hole 1 through 18.  1 is the hardest.  You get 2 strokes on every hole except the holes rated 13 through 18.  Those are the easiest 6 holes.  Now you subtract the number of strokes you get on each hole from what you made on the hole.

That would be a GREAT idea... for someone to create forum/blog independently hosted with anonymous user ratings, kind of like eBay feedback.  Golf instructors are typically under-qualified  in my opinion.  There are merely a handful that really worth their salt.  One acid test I use is whether the instructor has a grasp that golf cannot be explictly "taught"... the learning, for any player, comes thru self-discovery and experience.  The instructor's role is to convey WHAT needs to happen in a cause/effect fashion, but there are numerous ways to "implement" a given what. And more over, the verbage rarely translates into "feel".  You can't explain "feel"... but rather guide a student to constructively acquire feel thru guidance.  Finally, I feel instruction RARELY touches on the mental aspect of both playing and learning.  What constitutes good practice??  How to play under pressure...  My list of rants goes on and on... so YES, I think an objective reviewing source would be fantastic.  Other comments?

Absolutely.\n\nI'm 14 years old with a 13 handicap and I am a member of one. Go to:\n\nhttp://www.keepmygolfscore.com\n\nIt keeps your score and gives your handicap. It also tells all of your stats if you kept them while playing such as fairways hit, greens in regulation, total putts and sand saves. It shows all of these statistics with different graphs and charts.\n\nIt also has tips for improving your game and choosing your equipment.\n\nP.S. \n-It is way better than Yahoo Handicap Tracker, on Yahoo it doesn't display stats, just your handicap.\n\nThe best part, it's absolutely FREE!
