Golf Scorecard and Golf Handicap Explained for Beginner Golfers

[@CoachShayain]

How to keep score in a scorecard and Golf Handicap are explained in this video. Let me know if you have any questions.

[@nicholasleigh7466]

hi they play me of 22 and how do I know which holes I get 2 shots on is it the 4 hardest holes on the s.i and is it the 10 hardest holes of 28

[@jaimeojeda1363]

Hay quick question. on some score card it says men's handicap and women handicap and it shows some numbers next to it. Is that the handicap you are given and you have to divide that number by 18 ????????

[@infradig696]

I'm 41 years old and have been playing golf (only like 2 or 3 times a year) my entire life. I've had handicap explained to me a million times and this is the the only time it actually made sense to me! Thank you SO MUCH!!

[@CoachShayain]

I am happy to help! :)

[@SANPEDROCUSTOM]

My wife just started, I've been playing for 30+ years. I've learned one thing, do not give golf lessons to your wife! She has taken a few lessons and I help her out if she forgets anything the instructor taught her. She wanted to know what everything meant on a scorecard. You covered everything except what the numbers mean next to the men and women's handicap which was not in numerical order. I explained to her that those numbers tell you the most difficult holes and the easiest holes 1 being the most difficult and 18 being the easiest. I personally try not to look at those numbers, I get psyched out for some reason. I look at it after the round. Like your vids.

[@behmanngustavsp3598]

I always find the scorecard so confusing!!! Thank you for making it so easy to understand!

[@CoachShayain]

Happy to help and everything can be overwhelming in golf. The great thing is that people who play golf and work at golf courses are actually really nice and helpful. When in doubt always ask.

[@TheJaySinatra]

I just turned 40 last month and decided I wanted to start playing golf more regularly. This video is what I’ve been searching for in regard to understanding the basics. I really appreciate you for being so articulate and thorough in your teaching!

[@engrandmrsm]

This is the clearest explanation I’ve ever watch from hundreds of video’s explaining how to calculate the handicap. Thank you so much!

[@CoachShayain]

My absolute pleasure. Keep an eye on the channel will be dropping more videos in Aug

[@sirrahharris8218]

Last year when I first started learning golf this video helped me out alot and so did the rest of your videos, thank you for that!

[@CoachShayain]

Thanks so much for your support

[@lisapollitt6687]

Being a total beginner to golf, having only had 4 lessons with a pro and 3 practice rounds with my partner I found this very useful indeed. Thank you.

[@CoachShayain]

This makes me very happy. Thanks for your support and watching :)

[@jamilajones5727]

I have been searching for the right video to understand it. After going through many videos, you explained everything from A-Z. Thank you!

[@CoachShayain]

My pleasure

[@birdmanthewelder]

I finally learned what a handicap is and how to find it! Thank you! 🙏

[@CoachShayain]

Yayyyy!!! Happy to hear that it helped.

[@Vishallindia]

This is my first week for playing with my son, we are both new and we’re clueless on scorecard. I saved this lesson very useful and makes going to the course more meaningful now. Thank you.

[@CoachShayain]

I am so happy that it helped Vishal. Let me know how your golf journey goes :)

[@rogerward3390]

What is the most common scorecard method

[@elijahcarino8502]

Just here to also say this is the first time I’ve ever comprehended handicap. Thanks coach!

[@CoachShayain]

Thanks for watching

[@2006jayden]

Coach thanks for a very thorough explanation, you are great at explaining to the totally new golfer. Great tips

[@CoachShayain]

Thank you Jayden 🙏🏽

[@art141098]

this is the first time i actually understand how this works!

[@originalsklaus]

Have been getting into golf the last 3 years(2019-2022). Brief intro a few decades ago. Retired 3 years ago. Heard some terms before. Vague awareness of some of them. This tutorial really cleared up the fog in my mind. Thanks.

[@CoachShayain]

Happy to help. Let me know if you need anything else.

[@LanceCampeau]

I'm really impressed at how easy you can write numbers upside down!

[@CoachShayain]

😆

[@pansexualdickhaver6878]

Pretty easy for me except for upside down 5s. Those are trickier😂

[@lakpatsering4951]

Thank you, you are the best teacher so far I find out on KZbin. They says women are the best teacher and yes there are. thank you

[@CoachShayain]

Thank you for your support!

[@hollygriffith7731]

Thank you for such a simple explanation of something that seems so complicated. I started golfing 4 years ago and while I'll never be great at it, I am getting better. The more I know, the better I'm getting to be at it!

Big Thanks Coach. Since I am moving from cycling to Golf... This is the best thing I have ever come up with. Very nicely explained. Cheers

[@CoachShayain]

Fantastic! Glad it helped. Tell me about the transition from Cycling to Golf? Is it to try something new?

[@mrturntupp1292]

Thank you so much for explaining this and sharing it to the world. A friend of mine told me to try it out. I did 9 holes and sucked at it, but this helps.

[@srirangaswamy8986]

Even my 8.5 year old daughter, who is just playing for few months, understands you clearly! Thanks Coach. Hope to see you at Vancouver during late 2021/early 2022 (basically once the pandemic is totally done!) just to inspire my daughter

[@CoachShayain]

This makes me very happy!!! How is you now probably 10.5 year old daughter doing? Still playing golf? Did you make it to Vancouver at all?

[@srirangaswamy8986]

@@CoachShayain Hey coach - All good. Yes, she is 11 now. Her handicap is around 20 and hoping to get to a single digit in a year or two... Lets see! :) Nope, we didn't visit CAN yet but planning during 2024. Will get in touch with u, if we do next summer. Thanks

[@SPARKWISDOM]

This was extremely helpful! Thank you.

[@kevenirving6595]

Omg I've played for years but never seen this explained in so easy to understand detail . Thankyou! No how do I get you to come play with me every time so I don't forget lol 😂

[@CoachShayain]

Thanks so much!!!! How was Pumpkin Ridge?

[@chrisjenkins1]

This helped thanks. All the other videos are of people just plucking out things to mention but don't explain the basics of how to do things.

Thanks for explaining in such simplistic way

[@CoachShayain]

Happy to help!

[@zombiehunter1152]

Here in australia we have vertical scorecards too, as for slow play if you just walk alittle faster between shots and be ready to have your shot when it’s your turn, you won’t have a problem with slow play.

[@CoachShayain]

Great suggestion.

@CoachShayain You're Welcome beautiful gorgeous Coach Shayain 😘

[@west33637]

Hi Coach. Great explanation! Very helpful and easy to understand. I have a quick question. If I have done the max strokes for a hole - lets say its a par 4 and i have the max handicap (54). The max strokes for a par 4 would be 9 for me. If I did 9 strokes and had to pick the ball up and move on to the next hole what would I enter in the score card? Would that be a score of 9? Or would I pick the ball up and estimate how many strokes it would take to complete the hole and add it to the 9. Thanks!!

[@DarthFurball]

Great explanation coach! Wish I had found your channel sooner

[@rexoner2000]

Just now learning to keep score, and registered my handicap. I never understood the handicap stroke number on the scorecard. Now I can flex on my partner “pick your ball up, you just hit 9 strokes on a par 4, after 7 you are done”. Or at least I will hold myself more accountable over the group.

[@CoachShayain]

Happy that you can flex of you friends LOL

Hi Coach - In my late 30s and just attended a corporate golf event. I'm now hooked and want to pursue this seriously. I'm embarrassed to admit that I don't have the terminology down yet, to "book" (is that a term) of golf at the golf course nearby. Could you please advise on how to book a round of golf at Golf courses? Perhaps share what are the common questions they ask and how to answer them?

I’m 56 and have been golfing a few years I’ve taken lessons and have decided to joins a women’s league this year. I have not kept score on any of my game since starting. So my starting handicap would be 54?

Officially yes. And then once you play a few rounds and log your handicap then it will drop :)

[@richmandau6307]

Good explanation of handicap. Now what is the requirement to use the gold tee box?

[@CoachShayain]

There is no requirement. You can play from any tee box as long as you keep up with the pace of play. My recommendation is that if you are new to the game or can not make the green in regulation play from the tee box that gives you the flexibly to reach the green in regulation more than 50% of the time so you can enjoy the game the way it is meant to be :). I hope that answers your question

[@personalbyedl]

How about explaining what Slope and Rating mean for the course and how those numbers are computed. I think even seasoned golfers don't quite understand those definitions as far as how difficult the course plays. I know the higher the slope the more difficult it is and how is the rating calculated in terms of the particular par for a certain tee box (blue, white, red, etc.)

[@dongmeiliu3998]

Thank you for explaining the score card. So on a tournament, does each player need to write down all other three players’ score or only write own and partners. I watched on you say ask scores at the next tee box and not on green as FYI. Thanks Amy
