What is a good Handicap???

Question

I started Golf in July and went to a par 36 nine holes. My golf handicap is 14. Is that good for starting a couple months ago?

P.S.- I am not asking how other people can do better.

Answer 1

14 is VERY good considering you started playing less then two months ago.

The question is, are you calculating your handicap accurately considering you've been playing less then 2 months?

No mulligans?   You take strokes when you hit out of bounds?  

There are a lot of things that come into play when it comes to your handicap so you want to make sure you're calculating it accurately.

Answer 2

Yes. A good handicap is zero of course. But just starting golf a couple of months ago...14 is pretty good. Actually...it's not amazing...but it's great.

Answer 3

Indeed, you are a very good golfer - considering that you just started golf in July and achieved a handicap of 14 for a par 36 nine holes. Generally, a single handicap of 1 to 9 is a good handicap for a round of Par 72, 18 holes.But, of course handicap of 1 is the best for a armature golfer. Handicap of Zero is the professional golfer.

Hope my answer is meeting your requirement.
