How do I calculate my golf handicap? I only play occasionally and usually never do better than 110. Help!?
I am only a casual golfer. People ask me what my handicap is and I don't know how to answer them. What would my approximate handicap be if I normally shoot scores of about 110 or so? I feel ignorant that I can't give an answer and don't even know how a golf handicap is calculated for someone like myself. please help.

Your handicap is the average number of shots you usually score over par. the maximum handicap for men is 28 e.g. on a par 72 course you would usually score 100. This maximum depends on age/sex.
Therefore your handicap is likely to be the maximum 28.
you are a 36-40 hdcp. it is also based on type of course played. each course has a rating, this rating with hdcp. will give you a hdcp. higher #on course, higher hdcp. etc.
Tell them u shoot over a hunderd. You want a stroke a hole on all the holes but par fives and you want two on thoses. the USGA or the R&a dont list a handicap that high. with that amount of strokes you ought to at least break even or win a hole or two. Its all in fun anyway. If you cant afford to play for a dime or a quarter a hole then you should not be at the golf course. Save that money for food for your kids.
Just tell them that you are about a 35.
Tell 'em that you are "D" player. You might not get it, but they will
