I think you may need a certain number of posts before you can do that. I don't think it is a lot, but I cannot recall the number.

Lol thanks tom. Even though I've played golf as a child and in high school I'm still wet behind the ears when it comes to handicaps and whatnot.

Actually is this even my handicap? I'm using this application called Golf pad on my phone to track my scores and it's also a range finder but I just shot an 88 on my local 18 hole course and it told me the score of plus 18.0 I'm guessing this Isn't even my handicap huh? Lmao

It isn't, unless your course rating is par exactly and the slope is 113 on the number. But if you've only played a few rounds recently, "average score over par" is a decent approximation. I'd keep a spreadsheet of (score, date, course rating, slope rating, differential) that you could then use to calculate your handicap if you want an exact number.

    • Day 84 - 2024-12-23 I hit balls for 20 minutes after lessons and after getting down a BodiTrak for resale. Hinge. Path was weirdly consistent today at 1.6° or so ± like 0.8° only.
    • Day 13: 12/23/2024 A lot more mirror work today. Using my same swing thought. Some slow motion, some full motion, some in between. Today I made sure I took every swing all the way to the finish. 
    • Day 234 (23 Dec 24) - Mystery Monday - what to do today….pretty straight up as I spent time with the 58 and a series of pitches (lower flighted all the way up to high fliers over the tulip tree).  Wrapped up the day going lower ball with the 9i and easy bump and runs.  Again as always the setup was key - case in point, got lazy and casually set up, feet straight and promptly hit a couple of nice heely shots hard right.  Knew it immediately, as next couple I went through the routine and flew the balls promptly too the target point.  Setup - setup - setup…
