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)
It depends how difficult the course is, and how good you are. Mens maximum is 28 and ladies 36.
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!!!!
A golf handicap is a numerical representation of a player’s ability,
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.
It is the United States Open Golf tournament. One of the four mens' professional majors. Any player who meets the handicap requirements can enter qualifying events.
A golf index is the same thing as a golf handicap - it measures a golfer's ability.

Depends how old you are, and how long you have been playing. A very good amateur would play off scratch but usually less. There is always room for improvement and practice is the only way. Although the highest mens handicap is 28 so in relation to that 12 is good.
