OOB
Medal Winner
Just joined a club for the first time ever, and while I'm really struggling to play the game to the standard that I did before a 10 year lay off when I got married, I'm loving getting back out on the course.
While I've never had a handicap I used to regularly hit around the 90 mark at my local course so I used to state that my handicap was around 18. Now 10 years older, fatter and less flexible I'm struggling to break 50 (nine hole club). I'm convinced it will come, as I've hit better each round I've played.
I'd love to join in club activities a bit (was thinking Stableford to start) but don't really know where to start and if I need to get a handicap cert beforehand. Also afraid I'm just going to be a PITA noob, this makes me nervous. Obviously I understand the basics in terms of rules and regs and etiquette, I played with friends and societies for 10/12 years before dropping away.
