what numbers would you put low mid high handicappers?

Why are you using those handicaps ? Anyone above. 12 is high ?
 
I think that anything up to 5 is low and from 6-9 is mid and anything in double figures his high and anyone over 18 has no real intention of playing the game as a sport but more of a way of getting exercise with their mates and don't bother about holding up other golfers on the course.

That's extremly generic there and a little bit insulting towards certain golfers

Do you know the average handicap of the golfer in the uk ?

Wow....that's a bit radical :whistle:

What about people that have not been playing that long? Silly statement to make really. Sure there will be an awful lot like this but loads that are not. 0-9 = Low, 10-18 Mid, 19+ = High

He might be serious, just with a different opinion from everyone else. He is entitled to his opinion.

People are entitled to an opinion regardless of if you agree with it or not
 
I would go with the general consensus. But with an added extra, scratch golfer.
3 and below - scratch
4-9 - low
10-18 - mid
19-28 - high

the reason I see it like that is because that is what targets for new golfer looks like. People always aim to get their first handicap and play to it, then try and hit the the 18 mark. Once that has happened they then aim for the magical single figures. Then it is time to be a scratch player.

I have said about the scratch player as I do not think they should be categorised with high single figure handicaps. I have always noticed once players are 3 or below there is not much difference between them. But that is just how I see the different standard of golfers.

Just use the category - cat 1 5 and below where their handicap is looked after by the county
