If you can get around 9 holes in 37 shots it's not help you need....

It's a sponsor

Welcome to the forum. To give you a decent answer, tell us more about yourself. Where do you normally play, what gear do you have, how old are you, where you from etc.

On an 18 hole course you need three cards signed by other members one of which some clubs insist on being the captain.

on a 9 holecourse you'll need 6 cards of 9 each or again 3 cards of 18. That said any handicap earned on a 9 hole course is only ever going to be counted as a 9 hole handicap.

If the 9 hole course is a parr 30 then over 9 holes you will be 7 over thats 14 over through 18 holes. Still its no guarentee you'd get a 14 handicap on a full length course.

But best of luck anyhow.

You need to have 3 cards over 18 holes - no such thing as a 9 hole handicap except for when playing in a 9 hole competition on an 18 hole course where you have your official handicap, which is based over 18 holes - simples eh?
