In this regard, what is my handicap if I shoot 80?
Let us assume the slope is 125 and the course rating is around 72. If you consistently shoot between 75 and 80, there is a high chance that your handicap could range between 2 and 6. You will need to eliminate any outlier rounds to get an accurate score.
Similarly, what is my handicap if I shoot 100? If you shoot around 100 for 18 holes, your handicap is roughly a 28 (100-72 = 28).
Accordingly, is 82 a good golf score?
According to data from the National Golf Foundation, only 26 percent of all golfers shoot below 90 consistently on regulation 18-hole courses; 45 percent of all golfers average more than 100 strokes per round. A player who shoots 85 is doing better than nearly three out of four of his golfing peers--a good score.
What handicap is considered a good golfer?
If you want to be considered good you at least need to have an official handicap. The survey found golfers around 16 to 20 handicap to be the average golfer. The USPAG puts the “official” average at a 15 handicap. This would mean a player who typically scores around 90 on the average course.
