I golf on a league for work and we play 9 holes each week. They calculate our handicap for us. Occasionally when I visit my mom and play, we play for small money. How does my 9 hole handicap translate to a 18 hole handicap? Just double it?

In a less serious setting, doubling should be fine. I'm not sure what the appropriate course of action would be if you were playing in a tournament or something like that.

Playing golf with my mother for money isn't a "less serious setting."

It just depends how the handicap is figured. You could also turn in the scores to GHIN to get a number. I have the same situation. I am a 4 for my league and a 8.5 GHIN number. But I have only played one round with the league so I am not sure if they will corelate as nicely after a more rounds.

If youre playing the same 9 all of the time, i dont know how that works. But i know if can combine two sets of 9's (front & back) from any given day and turn in a 18 hole handicap for index purposes. If youre in the GHIN system, it will just combine them for you. I have combined scores in my history from two seperate 9's that were played more than a month apart, in some cases.

      PGA Makes Changes and Adopts My Change I Wanted for Years

      By jxdama · Posted

      I  had to return to boast  just a  bit. Everyone  knows  i thought  this  is  how the Championship should  be decided. Match play is far  better than stroke  play to determine a  champion and  its  much closer to most sports  playoffs. Lose and you are  out.     Promotion, relegation and match play: PGA Tour unveils radical new structure The PGA Tour has revealed its planned changes to its competitive model, schedule and playoffs, changes that will be more substantial than any in the Tour's half-century-long history. How will the PGA Tour series wrap up its season? The current PGA Tour playoff format consists of three stroke-play events, concluding with the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. Starting in 2028, the Tour's playoff system will feature match play, and will rotate through various courses. Further details will be revealed at this year's Tour Championship next month.

      My Swing (Gestate0560)

      Posted a couple swings here. I think my attempt to blend the movement still results in a more “around” back swing?

      I never heard dislike for them.  From my perspective, they are just like any other club. Though, they were always probably over-priced, until recently as other club manufacturers have been raising prices the past 5+ years. You had to wait for them to go on sale, which you can get them closer to other club manufacturers.  They sell good clubs. Nothing crazy..

      Why do so many people dislike PXG clubs and constantly criticize them? All the folks at my club and especially online, I never hear good things about them except from people who bought them and defend them. They look fine to me but curious is there some sort of quality issue or is it just stereotyping the buyers.

      I have the LM1 launch monitor and I’ve been very impressed. I agree with your assessment and it’s very accurate for me and ease of use is wonderful. The price point of $199 is very hard to beat with this form factor and performance. I was previously using a PRGR.
