I'm 14 years old and a 4 or 5 handicap. Do I have any hope in my golfing career?

Question

How long of a course should i be playing?

Answer 1

That is pretty good.  You should keep working on it and you should be able to get yourself a decent athletic scholarship for college.

Answer 2

no i don't think so, but don't let any1 say u cant

Answer 3

Idk alot about golf but Dont let anyone tell you that you cant do anything!!! 'Handicap' or not! Anything is possible!

Answer 4

hey man!!

yes you do have hope! my name is ben im 19 years old and currently at a scolarship academy in england, birmingham. i started golf when i was 14 (wish i started younger) the thing you have to learn is not do other people think you have a hope but do you think you have a hope? after this academy i am looking to keep playing and oneday make the euro tour. i believe in my self and you should too. if i could give you 1 tip it would be to get your head right! if i played you i would crush you, even though i only play off plus 3 i would beat you by 20 as you young and you get rattled! believe me as i been there.

so get your head right okay, dont be like these other young boys i see saying im 12 and hit it this long... it easy to say that when no one knows so dont be fooled by other kids saying this and that!

believe in your self and time will tell, just get your head right okay the game will come

trust me

Answer 5

You have plenty of hope, Frank.  You should play on all types of courses.. varying in length.   It would be most beneficial to you to get lined up with a good club pro or someone that has a vast knowledge of the game to give you lessons, tips and pointers.   Much good fortune in your future.

Answer 6

Yes, practice all the time.  Like the man said "it's in the dirt" (driving range)
