Ok i am 16 yrs old and have golfed for 2 year, this being my first serious year. i shot an 88 on 18 today.?

Question

is this above average for my age and expericence?

Course rating 68.6

Slope rating 123

Par 71

Answer 1

I would say it's about average for someone with your experience, although two years is not that short of a time. However, if you are a boy, the competition is fierce at that age. Don't be expecting to win any trophies with an 88.

Answer 2

that's really good for that age and experience, you still have a lot of time to grow and improve so by your senior year you should be shooting par or better if you get the right training

Answer 3

So on average you bogeyed every hole which is about an 18 handicap golfer, which puts you right in the middle of all golfers - so that alone is good.  Now at 16, that would say you are ahead of the curve for all golfers.  But if you are a boy, you would be behind most tournament players, and for a girl, you would be about average.   My daughter is 15 and has played seriously for 2 years and has a 9 handicap, meaning she shoots high 70s and low 80s on a par 72 course. Keep practicing and good luck  

Answer 4

I have been playing for 3 years and my best score is -2  70 and I am 17.  So your score is okay.

Keep it up!

Answer 5

sounds pretty good!

did you know that everyone in the world has a little bit of irish in them?!

Answer 6

I think with that score and more practice you could be well on your way to the pros

Answer 7

NO it is not. It is your best, and better than most. It could be better though. Now shoot to break 80!!!!
