How good do you think I am at golf?

[FrustratedPoet]

Playing the front 9 at Hadden Hill after work today (http://www.haddenhillgolf.co.uk/scorecard.htm). Men's tees.

Par is 35. How many do you think I will get?

The person who gets closest wins the respect of millions for their lucky guessing. Unless MtG locks this thread for being stupid, in which case he wins.

For the record, I've played golf 5 or 6 times every summer for the past 4 years and, although I'm improving each time, I'm not very good at all.

What score will I get?

[Richelieu]

I say 47.

Have fun!

[Skanky Burns]

46!

That unfairly gives him a bias towards a certain outcome...

Give yourself one over par on the holes under 360 yards and two over on the longer holes. I reckon that makes 48. If you can do it in that then congratulations! (assuming your short game is reasonably good)

Low scores being predicted here.

I've never played this course before, so I have no idea what to expect.

It's only fair to mention the weather - very low or no wind. Dry at the moment, but could easily be raining by the time we tee off.

I'll also be fairly hungry and have a bit of a headache, if you think those things might effect the score.

Ahhh, you weren't clear when you declared how much you might suck.

Revise mine to 59.

Quoted from my original post:

I'm not very good at all.

I think I made myself quite clear.

I also state that I've only played golf 20-30 times in my life - and never more than 6 times in the same year. The golfers among you (rah) should know how hard it would be for someone to learn the game under those circumstances.

Good luck, FP.
