Question

In golf clubs what does forgiving mean. and what is handicap never played with handicap.?

Answer 1

when a golf company says that their clubs or balls are "forgiving" it generally means that they can be hit off-center or not ideally, and the shot will still turn out good.

Handicap is the difference between par and your score.

for example, if you score an average of 79 for 18 holes, your handicap would be 7.

Answer 2

Handicap is not simply the number of strokes over par. It is a fairly complex formula to "level the playing field" between golfers of different skill levels. It depends on your average number of strokes as well as the difficulty of the course.

Forgiving means that the clubs "forgive" mis-hits, so if you don't hit it in the sweet spot, you will still hit a relatively good shot.
