Perhaps you might start by listing you own score or handicap. I've found that many guys get kinda shy when asked this question or they become like fishermen. And...you know how to take a fish story don't you
If you really want to know how you're doing, sign up at your club for a USGA handicap and post all your scores. I think that there are internet handicap services also. Anyway, you will know how you stack up against other golfers and can see how you personal game is going.
