There are 3 types of handicaps out there. They include: (1) honest handicaps; (2) sandbagger handicaps and (3) Hollywood handicaps.

Thankfully, the most common type of handicap is the honest handicap. This is a handicap that is determined by using a standard and accepted formula as defined by the governing golf body in a particular country. The golfer who carries an honest handicap is conscientious about keeping accurate scores, adhering to the accepted rules of golf and of considering all rounds played when applying the handicap formula.

The golfer who can be considered to be carrying a sandbagger handicap goes out of his way to make sure that his “official” handicap is somewhat higher than what it should be. The reason for doing this is pretty obvious. When competing in Net Score competitions (often involving money or prizes) he can have a distinct advantage.

A proper handicap, as mentioned above, must be based on all rounds played – good or bad. One “not so subtle” way to achieve the status of an elite sandbagger is to conveniently forget to enter good rounds but to be diligent to the extreme when it comes to entering bad rounds. If the golfer is “on a roll” with nothing but good rounds being shot, it may be necessary to make the supreme sacrifice and actually purposely play a bad round. “Gee, I just couldn't hit a fairway today!”

Fitness Sport Of Golf

You cannot hope to improve your game if you don't keep
your body supple. In order to swing your club your hips,
body and shoulders have to move through an extreme range of
movements and the muscles for each area need to work in
conjunction with one another in order to create an accurate
and powerful swing.

When you perform your exercises make sure that you always
think about your posture. Preferably have a full length
mirror available so that you can see what you look like.
Incidentally, it's our posture that makes us look old, so
if you can improve yours for your golf, you'll look years
younger off the golf course too! Keep your knees in line
with the center of your feet and try to keep your back
straight; be aware of not over-arching or rounding it.
