Well, lemme tell ya about this golf thing. It’s like, you know, when them fancy folks with their shiny sticks hit that little white ball around. They got this thing called a handicap, and it’s like, some kinda number they got. It’s supposed to tell ya how good they are at that game, I reckon.
Now, what’s an average golf handicap, you ask? Well, that’s a tricky one. See, it’s like askin’ how many taters you can fit in a sack. It depends on the taters, don’t it? Same with these golfers. Some are good, some ain’t so good.
I heard some folks say that the average golf handicap for them men folks is somethin’ like 14 or 16. Don’t rightly know what that means, but it sounds like a middlin’ number to me. Like, not too high, not too low. Just right in the middle, like Goldilocks’ porridge, ya know?
For the ladies, they say it’s higher, like 28 or 32. Don’t know what that is, this handicap index thing. But it is just a number. Seems like they got a different way of countin’ for them. Maybe their taters are smaller, I don’t know.
- The men, they got that lower number.
- The women, they got that higher number.
- It’s all about how good they are, I guess.
Now, these new folks, the ones just startin’ out, they got different numbers too. The new men, they’re around 16, and the new women, they’re up around 32. It’s like learnin’ to ride a bike, I reckon. You gotta start somewhere, and you ain’t gonna be perfect right off the bat.
And then there’s this thing about how many whacks they get on each hole. I heard that too. Sounds complicated. They talk about a 25 handicap. I don’t know but that is a big number. It is like a big score or something. What’s a quadruple bogey and triple bogey? Sounds awful, don’t it?
They got some fancy way of countin’, somethin’ about “hard holes” and “easy holes.” I don’t know, if you know how to play, you can play, why make it so hard? Like, if a hole’s hard, it’s hard for everyone, ain’t it? Why give some folks more whacks than others? Don’t make no sense to me.
They got some new way of keepin’ track, somethin’ called “hole-by-hole” scorin’. I don’t know what is that. These young folks and their newfangled ways. Back in my day, we just counted how many times we hit the darn thing. Simple as that.
But this golf handicap, it’s somethin’ they all talk about. Like it’s important or somethin’. Maybe it is, to them. This average golf handicap is a big deal, I guess. It is like a score they always talk about. To me, it’s just a number. Like how many eggs my hens lay in a week. Some weeks it’s more, some weeks it’s less. Just depends on the hens, I reckon.
These golf folks, they’re serious about it, though. They got all these rules and numbers and ways of doin’ things. It’s a whole different world, that’s for sure. But hey, if it makes ’em happy, who am I to judge? They are happy with their golf handicap, good for them.
So, what’s an average golf handicap? Well, it’s just a number, honey. A number that tells you how good someone is at hittin’ that little white ball. Don’t you worry your pretty little head about it too much. There are more important things in life, like a good apple pie or a sunny day.
Just remember, whether you are a 14, a 25 or a 32, It is just a number. You go out there, swing that stick, and have yourself a good time. That’s all that really matters, ain’t it?
Now if you will excuse me, I think I hear my rooster calling. It is time for me to collect my eggs. Maybe I will have a good number today. Like a good golf handicap number. Or maybe not. We will see. Bye now.
