Frequently asked questions
What are the first steps playing Golf?
Before going off full of enthusiasm to play your first round of golf, you should know the most important rules of behaviour and safety on the course. Golfballs fly at great speed and can easily hurt somebody and with this in mind Austria and Germany have developed a basic standard test prior to allowing you onto the course. In a 2 stage programme you will learn the basic ground rules to enable you to find your way about on the course.
In brief: The meaning of the handicap
The handicap expresses the ability of the golfer. Each golf course has a certain amount of strokes, with which a good golfer should be playing the course. An 18 hole course could be played with 72 strokes. If you do this in a tournament you would have a handicap of 0. A very ambitious aim.
At the beginning of your golf career you will get assessed by the PRO.with a hcp of 54. This means that you would play a 72 course in 72+54 = 126 strokes/shots. After this initial estimation there are several possibilities to lower your hcp.
The hcp has got one major advantage: If you play against a better player, at the end of the round the strokes get counted together and with the consideration of the various handicaps you still have a chance to beat even the better golfer.
What are the first two stages to learn Golf?
- Stage 1: gaining a hcp of 54 = course license
- Stage 2: gaining a hcp of 45 = license to take part in a tournament
