Well it is hard to say, if you told me what your handicap was I could tell you what you needed to shoot to get down. If you kept shooting 8 over the standard scratch you would get down to 9 eventually.
If you were getting your first handicap you would need to shoot a total of 27 over for three rounds, this would give you a nine handicap.
A handicap of 16 is respectable if you aren't planning on trying out for the PGA. A 16 handicap says your average score is 16 shots over par for that course.

Great question! Please email scores@cdga.org with the necessary adjustments to your handicap. Be sure to reference the score date and necessary changes as well as your CDGA number.
Unless they have come up with a new formula, your handicap would be around 28.
well it is considered a relatively high handicap in golf, this means the individual would likely average around 93 for all his rounds of golf. one must include slope and rating of the course when calculating a handicap, all handicap calculating programs calculate slope and rating for you. please keep in mind this came from a scratch handicap (0) and that the average golfer shoots 106 in his average round so think of it as your already better than average!!!!
In golf tournaments, gross prizes are awarded based on the player's actual stroke score without any handicap adjustments. Net prizes, on the other hand, are determined by subtracting the player's handicap from their gross score to calculate a net score. The players with the lowest net scores are then awarded the net prizes.
A golf handicap is a numerical representation of a player’s ability,
Yes that is good. The lower the score the better. I cant even get below a positive 5!
The average handicap is probably around 23. There will be players who shoot over 100 consistently but are not that serious about golf. Then there are others who play a lot who get into the low 80's. With that said, shooting about a 95 is a good average handicap.
You get a shot on the holes as determined by the stroke index or handicap as set on the score card. So if your handicap is 9, you get one shot on each of the holes ranked 1-9 on the stroke index or handicap index. Using your handicap, you get a shot on the hardest holes 1 being the hardest and 18 being the easiest.
In order to allow new and poorer golfers to play with experienced and skilled golfer's their difference is more equalized by subtracting strokes from the poorer golfers score and perhaps adding some to the better golfer's score. The equalizing amount subtracted or added is called the player's handicap.Calculating a handicap is a little involved and is done different in different places. Think of it as taking the average strokes professional golfers take to complete a given golf course, and subtract this number from the ordinary player's score. Some percentage of this difference is the player's handicap and it will be subtracted from (or added to) his score for the game that day.Professional golfers at tournaments don't have handicaps. The play Scratch, meaning their actual strokes is their score -- no handicap.
