Golf Handicap In Chiang Mai.

[Scrubber]

A question for the golfers in Chiang Mai:

How do I go about getting an 'official' golf handicap? Do I need to join a club and hand in x number of completed scorecards or can I do it at a municipal course?

I know I could just estimate it myself based on the last few rounds, but I was wondering how to get an official one.

I use this site to calculate an on line handicap. My link

I think that you have to input 6 cards to get your handicap. Anyway have a look.

Thanks Rick - that website is great.

Howard - the ball's fine, it's the clubs that cause the problem!

Just get someone to give you a solid wack across the shins with a 5 iron. That should be handicap enough.

Good luck with an official one. It's great taking money off the Swedes in Pattaya when they try to live up to their handicap.

About two year ago there was tournament at Hang Dong where "Handicaps" were allocated based on the info given by the players.

The winner if I remember correctly, 26 handicap, carded a net 50, 2nd and 3rd were 53 and 54 -all Thai's strangely enough.

Makes no difference where you are golf is a handicap.

As Mark Twain said it is a wonderful way to ruin a good walk.

My youngest caught the disease and doctors said there was no hope for him.
