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

I disagree with the others!!! Phil Mickelson is the best golfer.  Now that he's over his mental block he has been giving Tiger a run for his money.  Tiger USED to be the best...he will never be what he once was ever again.  Phil is now the one on top.  OHIO GOLFER gave you the stats for driving/ball striking.  That is a very small part of golf.  That is the only aspect that Tiger is leading.  Phil is #1 in money leadership, scoring average, and greens in regulation. http://www.pgatour.com/stats/r  These are directly from the PGA site.  So any of those who say Tiger is #1 need to check there stats first!!!! Thats the great thing about golf all you have to do is check the stats to figure who is the best!!!

All the golf balls you can carry.  Now some tournament play what is called a one ball rule.  The one ball rule has nothing to do with how many golf balls you take with you.  The rule requires you to use the same brand and type of golf ball for the round.  You start with a Pinnacle you can only play Pinnacle that round.

In golf, a caddy (or caddie) is the person who carries a player's bag, and gives insightful advice and moral support. A caddy is aware of the challenges and obstacles of the golf course being played, along with the best strategy in playing it. This includes knowing overall yardage, pin placements and club selection

Gene Sarazen\n\nThis was only the second year for the award. So it wasn't like a golfer took forever to win one of the award.

If it is a competition in the case of matchplay then the extra holes are decided before the match starts, should it be level after 18 and the shots are awarded exactly the same as the original 18 ie according to the stroke index of the hole. In the case of stroke play, then the back nine is counted if that is level then the back seven if that is also level then the back five and then three is taken into consideration, if this is also level it is usual to have either a sudden death or three hole play off, if it is still level after the three hole play off the the same three holes are played over and over until an out right winner is found.  If it's a friendly then be civilised after all it is golf your playing and just go to the bar and buy your opponent a beer and congratulate him on managing to stay even with you over 18 holes

Yea, by pure luck! I'm not a golfer and couldn't tell you what club. I do use the Happy Gilmore swing. People laugh at me but that's how I got my hole in one! Good luck!

Ernie Els and Annika Sorenstam would be my choices. They are both great golfers, proven winners and yet they are also really personable and soft spoken people as well. Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus are probably the two greatest golfing legends, but they are probably a bit too competetive for what would preferably be a nice day out on the course. Tom Watson is also someone I would enjoy playing with I think.

St. Andrews in\n1858, a senior member pointed out that it takes exactly 18 shots to\npolish off a fifth of Scotch. By limiting himself to only one shot of\nScotch per hole, the Scot figured a round of golf was finished when the\nScotch ran out.
