Golf question from one who knows nothing?

Question

I have never golfed. sometimes I think i should cause it might be fun. anyways my question is what kind of score would you expect from a guy who never golfed on just a local golf course.

Answer 1

9 holes ? I would say like a solid 90 would be a DECENT score from someone whos never played

Answer 2

well tony romo was a competitive golfer in high school but focused on football. he tried to qualify for the US Open last week and shot a round of 99. so even though he has played  golf in the past that was pretty standard for someone who isnt a competitive golfer. i would say like myself never have picked up a club a round somewhere between 120-130 is average.

Answer 3

a score off the charts.. i dont think you should keep score the first several times and just focus on trying to get the ball towards the little flag far away! after acouple times, write down you score when you go again.

Answer 4

Don't bother scoring the first few times you play on a course, just go out and have fun. However, I'd at least get a couple of lessons from a pro. It'll help you decide whether you like it or not, whether you're a natural or if you'll have to sweat it out like the rest of us!

As far as a score on your first real round, it depends on what I said above. The vast majority of "regular" players will probably score a 130-140 or more. I knew a guy who went out on his first round and scored 105: he was a natural and only dropped shots on his putting.

Good luck, and have fun with the beautiful game!

Answer 5

Answer 6

Answer 7

+50

Answer 8

On my first go on a 9 hole course I scored about 75-80. It was a hot day and I didn't have a drink. I was unhappy

Answer 9

You would be lucky to break 100, if you are athletic and have played sports before you might hit in the 90's.

Answer 10

the typical score for a beginner for on an 18 hole course is less than 85! trust me!

Answer 11

130 ish.

Answer 12

I think it really depends on the difficulty of the course.

Answer 13

If you really want to play on a regular basis, I'd suggest that you not even keep score at first.  You're going to score well over 100 for your first time, probably 120 or more.  If you take lessons, get some decent equipment and practice, practice, practice, in a couple of years MAYBE you'll be breaking 100.

Good luck.

Answer 14

If your going to go play you should play double par.  That means when you get twice the par on a hole you pick up and put double the par so if you were on a par 4 the worst you could get would be an 8

Answer 15

the first time i went golfing i shot a 49 on a par 35 at 3800 yrds, but i have had friends who have shot in the 60's on 9 holes
