No, not really. This is because you will need a handicap so they can see how many shots you get on certain holes and therefore how many points you make. If it is an unofficial competition you may be able to play in it, so check before hand. But if it is an official competition, it is unlikely you will be able to play.
Do you mean a 36 handicap? If so you would get 2 extra points per hole. Playing off scratch in a Stableford Competition you would get two points per hole if you completed the hole in par, one over par you would get 1 point. So a player with a 36 handicap would get four points for each hole you completed in par. For a Bogey on any hole you would get 3 points and for a Birdie you would get 5 points. The Rules on Stableford are readily available from your Golf Club Professional.
Yes, your handicap can still be cut at the away club. That is assuming that you shoot under your handicap and that the competitions is qualifying. You should check with the clubs concerned.
Depends on the club you play at really, at my club 90 is the maximum.
You have few options: 1) join a club 2) join a club which offers basic membership for handicaps and possible reduced green fees. e.g. Silvermere 3) EGU option 4) Use one of the various online handicap companies which charge £25 (give or take a few quid) e.g. Elite golf solutions 5) Use one of the free online systems. e.g. Punk golf magazine online
At club level it is simply a collection of members playing the course and trying to shoot the best nett and gross scores. The two main types are stroke play where the players use one ball and record the amount of strokes used to complete all 18 holes. Stableford is where points are calculated using the difficulty of the hole for that player as determined by their handicap, set against the score they had on that hole.
You would need to get one, depending on the entrance rules of the competition you want to play in, or the course you want to play, you may be unable to play. You can get handicaps over the internet, but the best thing to do is to get an established club or society handicap.
As of July 13, 2014, the club head speed of Phil Mickelson is 4,040.88. His handicap is +5.2 and his average is a 50.
The COG of a golf club is the centre of gravity. The clubs are designed to have a low COG to get the ball airborne. For high handicap clubs, there is a lot of weight to the club, drawing the COG to make sure the ball gets up easier, and also makes the clubs very forgiving.

The USGA (the body that governs golf in the United States) has two "requirements" for a handicap to be official:The first is the handicap calculation. There is a specific formula to calculate your golf handicap, which in essence takes your last twenty scores, adjusts each for the difficulty of the course (called differentials), then averages the 10-best and multiples by 0.96. However, there are also a large number of specific adjustments for exceptions, including when you play in a tournament, when you play nine holes, and if you have a really awful hole (called equitable stroke control).The second requirement is what the USGA calls Group Cohesion, and it means that you need to be part of a local group/club that is recognized by the USGA and conforms to its requirements. These include (1) actual physical golf clubs (like your private country club) as well as (2) "clubs without real estate" that are formed by groups of golfers who may play at different golf courses. What is most important is that it is a group of golfers that lives not too far away from each other (~50 miles, thus no "national clubs") so that they have the opportunity to play together on a regular basis.If you can join one of these clubs, and if the club has their handicap calculated in the proper way, then they will be licensed by the USGA to offer you an official handicap.To meet both requirements, you have a few different options:1) You can go to your local golf club and see if they offer the service2) You can go online, though it is important that the web site perform all the correct adjustments AND offer the ability to join an official group on its site, otherwise your handicap will not be officialNote that the USGA does not offer official handicap services itself.
Seniors will do fine as long as the shaft is regular flex and not stiff flex. Low torque shafts are great as well. They really let you fell the club head.
