Guys, Can Wolf be played on a Par 3 hole?

I like your idea for the lef/right. THanks, Randy

although I am on vacation currently in a hot country, the canadian winter is really making me miss Golf !! Hope you guys are well

Hey guys, been awhile here but I have been reading on the handicap system. I have a question: When you begin and you do not have a handicap index you can not use the handicap system until one is eventually accrued, correct?

FYI: I asked the same question on another forum and the results are significantly similar to the voting on this forum: The majority of the voters on the other forum use the handicap system (18/24=75%) compared to our 78%. So surprisingly a lot of people are quite verse to the handicap system. Although I am not sure if they are as technical about it as others. Because I remember playing with someones dad and he gave me a very simple explanation of handicap systems which is just how much above par you shoot is your handicap (averaged over playing again and again round after round). Preliminarily speaking, that is a semi-analogous explanation to the real thing, however, not entirely accurate to what the real handicap system is. Anyways back to studying this stuff.

Thanks to all that replied and voted . I will now take it all in and see if I can make way in this world of handicap. I also asked this same question on another forum so I am getting some great advice from a lot of people. I'll let you guys know how I fair and give my own summary in the end of what I think it is. Hopefully that, and this entire thread helps some people.

You sensed correctly hehe. Okay I am going to read your generous response here. Thank-you.

[Announcement: I realise now that I should change the title of this thread to the same question as is on the poll but I can't find the edit button anywhere]

or youtube

So I read this excerpt and what I gather is figuring your handicap on a round is more complicated than I thought: "To find his handicap for a round, a golfer locates on the scorecard the slope and course rating for the tees from which he played. The course rating is subtracted from the player's score, which is then divided by 113 and multiplied by the slope for the tees played. The resulting number is the handicap for that round." Course-rating= Par Score Correct ? so Just add up the par's for the 18 holes.=Course-Rating Slope-Rating= Score of a Bogey golfer in a round=Course-Rating + 1 Am I way off here?

Just wandering if people do this or not. I am currently reading up on it all over the internet. I am trying to learn the ins and outs and the terms. I have never played with anyone that uses this but then again I have only played with the same guys (sometimes with a few random people). But those figures are there on the cards for a reason right? So I am wandering how many people that play golf regularly use the handicap system/stroke indices shown on the scorecards? Thanks !
