I've never had an official handicap so I always play off 18 on the basis it's a shot a hole. Mind you I've never won anything! I get around 26 - 32 stableford points so it's probably fair. 18 sounds about right then i would say. i only know my handicap by registering with www.golfshake.com/ and adding my rounds i've played It's really difficult to judge as it depends on what course you play. When I had loads of time and played every week I went round Highworth 9 holes in under 40. Then I went to Burnham and Berrow and gave up after 15 holes as I used and lost over 24 balls!!! |

83 is bloody good going in my book- I usually break 100 but have never broken 80. I think 87 is my best on a par 72. I guess it's the great thing about golf I can play almost par golf for 7 - 8 holes but I just know I'm going to shank the fucker out of bounds three times in a row and sure enough I do  |

I've got a Wilson fat shaft 3 wood and I at least stand a chance of keeping that on the fairway. I could hit a driver a fair way but it was usually 90 degrees left of where it was meant to go!! Trouble is, it leaves a really long second shot, usually I need to go with a 3 iron and I'm really crap with a 3 iron |

Playing off 5, my major faults would be erratic with 2, 3 and 4 irons and occassionally missing 'gimme' putts due to lack of concentration. I'll take Bushey to school though  |

I don't care how cold it is as long as the sun is shining!
I'd prefer minus degrees as opposed to +10 degrees and rain and grey cloud.
