Just figured out my handicap

[Flyman]

I'm a newb at this game. I picked it up last summer and found that I really enjoy it. I played my 5th or 6th round ever yesterday, and managed to get my first ever par (was a par 4, 360yd). Came oh-so-close to making par two other times (par 5 and par 4). The rest of the holes weren't nearly as good.

So I figured up my handicap today, and it came out as a 44. I knew I was bad, and sure enough...

Oh well. I hope to improve on that this year, maybe starting Monday when I head out again.

I just picked up the sport last October as well. I can't get enough of it! (My wallet can though)

If I may ask, how did you figure out your handicap? I've been collecting my scorecards and have about 10.

Thanks for your help!

I did a google search for how to do it, and found the formula on Golflink, I believe.

If you sign up on golf logix as a free user and enter your scores, they will figure a recreational handicap for you. Diablogolf.com may do it too I think.
