Answer 3

You are scoring the equivalent of just more than 2 over par in each hole. That is decent provided you played one ball, took no " Mulligans " or do-overs and completed every hole by putting the ball into the cup. This is a good starting point. With practice on the weakest part of your game, you should note very good progress. Count every stroke, good or bad. This is the only honest way to judge if you are making progress or not. You will run into plateaus, that you cannot  conquer . Keep at the game for all at once, you will have a huge breakthough and you won't believe the improvement. Although it happened years and years ago, the feeling will always be part of the golfing experience.

Answer 4

of course, if you counted all the shots, its a good score for a beginners, that is  roughly 59 times 2  118  minus 72, a 46 handicap, you need to lower the score by six shots to consider yourself a golfer....Keep it up, you will learn, concentrate  and play the short game

good luck

Answer 5

thats 120 for 18 holes...while its about my average, its not that good...but don't give up, keep trying...you will get better...well I haven't, but you will...I am sure.

Answer 6

I shoot a 43

Answer 7

To be honest, theirs room for improvement. I wouldn't exactly beat yourself up but you know you can do better don't you?

Get your head down and practice and you'll soon start shoting Mid to high forties.

Just to give you an idea of what you should be aiming for remember: -

Most Golf Courses have a Par of 72.

The MAXIMUM handicap allowed for an adult male is 28

Which means that for 18 holes a 28 handicapper should shoot around 100. You very rarely shoot your exact handicap but between 97 to 103 is average for a 28 handicapper.

You shot 59.

59 x 2 = 118.

This means that on 18 holes you would need to shave off 18 shots to play an average game for a 28 handicapper.

Answer 8

Glorious

Envious

I started about 135 for 18 holes.

You would be about 118 over 18 holes.

That is a great place to start, Ank

Answer 9

It's a good score if your just starting out, I know a girl who had 80 for 9 holes!

Answer 10

Assuming you actually know enough about counting strokes to get an accurate, "legal" tally; 59 is an excellent score for a beginner for nine holes.

Answer 11

i dont know how long you have been playing for so i wouldnt know. i have days that i shoot 40's and days i shoot 50's its all about consistensy.
