Yes it is.
The maximum allowed handicap is 28 for men, and 36 for ladies, so they'd have to play off either of those.
A golf course must typically be at least 5,000 yards long for men and 4,000 yards for women to provide a valid measurement for a true handicap. This length allows for a range of skill levels to be assessed accurately based on the course's difficulty and layout. Additionally, the course must have a valid slope rating and course rating to ensure proper handicap calculations.
As per USGA rules it is only a maximum of 24. And for Ladies it is 36.
Most golfers can not legitimatly break 100. That said, of people who consider themselves 'golfers', I'd suggest the average to be around 18 or 20. If you can shoot in the 90's, you have nothing to be worried about, and you're probably in that range.
You must be a lady golfer, as the maximum handicap for men is 28. But, it all depends on the competition scratch score. If the c.s.s was equal to par, your exact handicap would get cut by 6x0.4 = 2.4. So if you played off 36.0 you would get cut to 33.6 (34).
According to the USGA, the average handicap of the American golfer is 16.1 for men and 29.2 for women. These numbers have remained largely the same over the last 15 years despite significant technology advances with equipment. Perhaps we will see a difference in the future by addressing the way the body moves in the golf swing. Susan Hill (http://www.fitnessforgolf.com)
For men the highest handicap is 28 and 36 for women. So 125 is terrible and not possible.
Florida Gators men's golf was created in 1925.
There is very little difference between men's and women's golf scores, they both shoot considerable scores under par. The difference is that the women play holes from tee boxes that are a lot farther forward than the men, this isn't because they aren't as good, but it is because they do not hit the ball as far. The handicap systems are the same, for amateur golfers are the same for men and women, but as you know professional golfers don't have handicaps.
No.
No.
word Golf evolved (Like most words) from other languages. Why People perpetuate this nonsense still mystifies me! While it is true that in the early days of golf it was primarily a game played by men......The word golf derives from the Dutch kolf meaning stick, club or bat. Gentleman only ladies forbidden is an old urban legend.
