Is 4 a good golf handicap for an amateur?

Answer 1

Yes, you definitely have the ability, you just need to take your game to the next level by playing and practicing loads and loads. You should consider things such as running and weight lifting etc to get you in good shape. Most golfers turn pro when they achieve a handicap of around +3 - +5.

Answer 2

Four is excellent, achieved by few players. It's been observed (by a frustrated six) that there are a lot of six handicappers, but very few fours.
