Low Mid or High Handicap?

[kid2]

Evening all,
Which one am i?

I play off of 20 and decided to do some homework as to what handicap category i fall into.
As most clubs are geared towards certain handicaps i wasnt sure whether i fell into S.Game Improvement
Game Improvement
Players
Better players
or generally just Low,Mid or High Handicap.


Any information i come across seems to tell me that
1.Low = 10 and under
2.Mid = 11-20
3.High is 21 up.
I always thought i was a high handicapper is the above accurate or am i right?

Sorry kid, you're a high handicapper off 20 imo. I'd call you a mid handicapper once you get to about 16, low from 8 down.

Easy; if you're off 20 like me, then you're a low upper-medium category player.

I thought, when posting this that there would be some interesting replies at the least

 

[stevek1969]

Sorry mate but i would class you as a high handicapper my mate plays of the same and thats what he classes himself as.

I agree. Sorry.

I would put it down as this

Low = scratch - 7
Mid = 8-18
High 18+

Just my opinion and not based on anything in particular.

 

[USER1999]

Low = 0 to 9
Mid = 10 to 18
High = 18+

So high is your answer.

 

[Imurg]

Now is that playing handicap or exact?
Low handicap on exact - mid handicap on playing according to Murph's Law.......

 

[Smiffy]

During any given round, I can be all three

I think the goalposts have moved and the quality of the top amateurs is crazy these days.

Low = 3 and below
Low Mid = 4 - 9
Mid = 10 - 15
High = 15+

 

[USER1999]

Since the average club handicap is 16 (apparently), it is harsh to put 16 as a high handicap. It surely has to be mid, as that is average?

Yeah, maybe a bit harsh:-

Low = 3 and below
Low Mid = 4 - 9
Mid = 10 - 15.9
Average = 16
High = 16.1+

 

[Ethan]

Low = 3 and below
Low Mid = 4 - 9
Mid = 10 - 15.9
Average = 16
High = 16.1+

I think this sounds fair.

 

[viscount17]

Low = 3 and below
Low Mid = 4 - 9
Mid = 10 - 15.9
Average = 16
High = 16.1+

I think this sounds fair.

but demoralising!

all we high-handicappers were looking forward to a change of status once we climb out of Division 4.

My view would be that if you get 2 shots on any hole then your a high handicapper so would see 18 as when a player changes to a mid handicapper from high.
As to where the difference between where mid and low sits i'd say once you get to 8 your a low handicapper as you get shots on less than half the holes on the course.

 

[Robobum]

As an aside, no male golfer who has the ability to breath and to put one foot in front of the other should receive a shot on a par 3.

BTW the par3 9th at our place is SI 4, so I get a shot there

 

[drawboy]

I phoned Bruce Forsyth to ask his opinion on this. Total waste of time, all he said was Higher.higher, Lower, Lower.

 

[USER1999]

OMG, have we really descended to this?
