okay, i just thought of this as a fun way of seeing how good people on this forum really are. First, list your handicap, then put any special achievements or anything special that has happened to you on the golf course.

i'll start.

Handicap: 27 (thats a junior handicap by the way. Apparently it translates into a 37.7 adult one)

Achievements: well, since i havnt been playing for that long my best achievment would be beating my mate the second time i ever played. he is a good player and has been playing for a lot longer than me so that was pleasing.

Current handicap index is 14.9… lowest ever was 9.3. I’ve eagled every par 5 hole on my home course several times, I’ve eagled a 420 yard par 4 from the fairway, and I’ve made 2 aces. My lowest score ever is 73 on a par 72 course. I’ve actually stood on the 18th tee at 1 under par… hooked my tee shot OB and made a triple on the hole.

My handicap is 10

I don't have any special acheivements to really mention. I just try to make acurrate shots.

Although - A few years back (maybe 10 years ago now) I got hit where it counts by a ball from a different hole. The two holes formed a 'T.' I was playing my second shot (on the top part of the T) and the other guy overpowered his shot trying to hit an uphill green and I was in the way of the ball. I'd say that is my most memorible moment

eh, currently a handicap in the lower 20s...

About 5 years ago however, I had a 10 handicap, lowest score of a 76 (once). Used to play varsity golf all 4 years in High School.

Stopped playing for a couple years, now I'm slowly getting back into form... hopefull will be shooting no worse than mid-low 80s by summer.

Current h/cap is 14.2 (awaiting cuts from 2 comps with 40 points and 39 points on 7/8th respectivly)

Used to play an awful lot being a 12 handicapper as a junior (10 years ago), then learning to play the game again 2 years ago as I had quit for a long time.

Now even though my handicap is higher than it was as a junior I am a better golfer.

Achievements this year for me would be winning a couple of tournaments at the club and having a total of 14 rounds in the 70s.

Whist its all good and well being cut, my aim is to be single figures by this time next year - as long as I still enjoy the game.

No point in playing the game if it stops being fun.
