I was wondering what my handicap would approximately be if I usually shoot 80 to 83.  I know handicap takes into consideration the SSS and the slope of the course etc. The SSS of the course I play on is 69 and the slope is 113 I believe. Im just looking for a rough estimate if possible

Again, I'm going back to the CONGU handicap manual I referenced in another thread.  Take your lowest "differential"  (score less SSS) and multiply that by about 0.9.  In Ireland you don't use the slope rating like we do under the USGA system.  if you take 80-69 = 11, multiply by 0.9, you'll be around 10 handicap.

10 would be if the of average half of his scores are 80.

Its important to remember that the OP is in Ireland, and they use a system that differs significantly from the USGA system.  For more information you can search for CONGU handicap.

      Day 47: simulator day! Played St. Andrew’s and shot a +1. Not bad, especially with having to putt at this simulator set up. Had about 5 minutes at the end to work on some feels as well.

      I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.

      So the question was posed today by some of my friends.  Is a pitch mark the same as a divot?  I thought NO, but they argued if your ball lands in another player's divot (made by club during a swing) this was the same as a pitch mark, i.e. the ball mark made when the ball lands
