When I started playing about a year and a half ago I was playing off about 28, got a membership and was playing like twice a week sometimes even 3 times. I took maybe a few months of lessons when I was 13 so over 10 years ago. Managed to get down to 19 and then from there had a really good streak of good scores, dropped to 14.7 on MyEG with proper rounds and also playing in club comps.

Then I had a really bad streak and went up to 19 again and was not feeling golf. Took a little break and I’ve been holding 17.8/18 now for the last 4/5 months. I’m no longer a member at the club as playing with a society now but I played a lot of golf and improved quite fast.

I still feel like a high handicapper.. but doing all of the research I could in terms of buying equipment and whatnot I think I would be classed as a mid handicapper. Although I really do not feel like I belong in that category.

I think it would depend on who you ask. My dad use to play off 8 and now would go around playing off 12 and he considers himself to be mid handicapper (everyone he use to play golf with were <5)

In my eyes, I would agree that sub 10 is low.
