How does the handicapping work in golf?

tis a great game mate. you'll never master it. Consistency trumps all.

If I were you I would play match play for your first few rounds. Who ever in your group uses less strokes wins the hole, gets a point and you start afresh the next one. That way you avoid the mental anguish of getting annoyed over a bad hole, which in turn causes you to mess up another few.

If you're new at the driving range I would make sure you can hit it at least 150 yards on a reg basis then the course won't be all out tough.

Linford Christie goes to try to join his local golf club. They refuse to accept him because he's black, and tell him that there's a municipal golf club 10 minutes down the road, which he can play at. He says "Don't you know who I am? I'm Linford Christie!". They reply, "Oh alright, since it's you... 5 minutes down the road".

Google some connotations of racism, racist and golf club and I bet there's plenty to suggest otherwise.
