I'm in the mid 90's on a good day and favorable winds, for a weekend hacker what is the benefit of an established handicap.

My unoffical handicap is 38. I get this form a handicap formula and between The group I play with we cap or handicap at 40.

On a Par 70 I typically shoot 110, plus or minus 5. The best I ever shot was 101. The worst is unknown, but probably about 125.

My goal for this year is to start to play in the mid-90's.

My other goal is to have fun regardless of my score. Sometimes I double over with laughter at a really poor shot!

A handicap is allows you to play other forms of the game so instead of just playing off strokes.

At the local golf course here its a par 72 and I normally shoot between 72-78. I have dropped about 10 strokes in the past year.

It allows you to compete with golfers who are better than you. This wikipedia entry explains this further.

I'm in the mid to low 90s on an average day, just about anywhere I play. I've broken 90 twice, and hoping to get my game down in to the 80s consistently over this summer. After that, it's attempting to break it.
