This could possibly be a stupid question but i'm very curious to know this.

What is the lowest your handicapp can go to?

The reason i ask this is because after speaking to a friend who is part of a private club he was telling that he was playing with someone who was a very very good player, He said that he is that good that he has to give the course shots?

I basically thought that you got to scratch and that was it??

There are no stupid questions. Once you reach Scratch (or zero) you can actually go the other way and have a + handicap (I think Tiger is a +8).

to be a pro do you need to have a + handicapp?

Only if you hope to make a living at tournament golf.

To be a class A pga pro you have to pass a playing test. I am not sure of the details but 3 over par or something qualifies. Id would bet there is a website that tells you.

Technically, to be a professional, all you have to do is say "I'm a professional," enter a tournament that makes you a professional, etc. Some teachers can't play worth shit but they're PGA pros.

But that's probably not really what you're asking... The PAT only requires, yeah, about +15 for 36 holes. I could pass it on two fairly bad days and I'm a 4 index or so.

      I've been putting whilst looking at the hole and it's definitely helped my distance control

      Determining Out of Bounds

      I wonder if that is why my home course basically have no stakes now.  Not even markers.  It’s completely up to golfers to remember what is OB and hazard and how things used to be marked.     Even in tournaments, there is no marking and certain areas are played differently by different golfers who either don’t know better or use it to their advantage funny reading thru this with courses that actually have markers

      Electrolytes

      By Elmer · Posted

      Great post, thanks for the informaiton. I try to avoid adding salt to anything I eat. I tend to add pepper on to my meals as opposed to salt. And I am trying to eat as clean on possible. On golf day, I eat 3 eggs for breakfast (pepper NO salt) and a salad for lunch, with grilled chicken thigs (pepper, garlic, no salt). I have been trying to avoid processed food, but we all slip. I also should have mentioned that the electrolyte packet calls for mixing with 16 oz of water, however I mix in 32 oz of water, so I dilute the electrolyte powder.

      LIV Golf Now Closed?

      By imsys0042 · Posted

      So if I read the news correctly, the PIF will not fund LIV after this season.  LIV is trying to find new funding and a number of players there are now asking about getting back to the Tour.    I am very, very concerned that Taylor Gooch will not have a place where he can make a jackass out of himself soon
