Improving Your Handicap

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

 

Learning how to improve your handicap can go a long way towards improving your overall golf game. However, one of the first things that you need to remember is your handicap is not actually the score of a single game. For example, if you play a single game of a 10 over par, then it is virtually impossible to determine your handicap.

The exact score of the handicap will vary based upon the actual courses that are played and the ratings that accompany those courses.
