Yes ;)
 
If that is what you are going round in then that is your handicap. Remember when you start playing comps next summer you will be of the white tees. If it is like my club then some holes that could 40-50 yards. That will make a difference to your score. A mate of mine only joined the club this year having never really palyed. Put his cards in and got given a 25 handicap. Thing is the bloody bandit will get cut next year. People have him playing off 18 as 25 is too much. He is in a similar situation to you. He does make quite a few pars and the odd birdie but will still have the odd 7 or 8.
 
Just dont know what level i should be at.Havnt put in for my handicap yet as i feel embarassed puttin in a card 23+ over.lol
Embarrassed ? How ? I have a 23 handicap and I'm not embarssed whatsoever, and have no idea why anyone who hands a Cardin which is 23 over should be
