Obtaining your handicap
Reaching the qualification point is a huge milestone, but don’t forget the ultimate goal: obtaining your handicap. While commonly underestimated, with the right training, this can be achieved with ease. Here’s how:
-
Handicap preparation course: This course focuses on improving basic technique and momentum, as well as preparing you specifically for the tournament game. You will ultimately need to earn your handicap under tournament conditions.
-
Duration/cost: 6 to 8 lessons, UGX 900,000.
-
Handicap tournament course: In this course, you will have the opportunity to earn your first handicap under the guidance of a professional. You will play with a golf friend who already has a handicap, prepare for the round, and complete a handicap-effective 9-hole tournament. If you earn 18 Stableford points, you’ll celebrate your first handicap!
The average handicap for men worldwide is approximately 17 and for women, it’s around 29. This average has hardly changed for decades.
Moving forward, you’ll devote your time to enhancing your handicap, as there is always room for improvement. EAGolf offers several courses and training modules to help you achieve this, including:
-
Individual and group lessons with a Pro: Our teaching professionals analyze your strengths and weaknesses to improve your game.
-
Thematic workshops: If you know the weak points of your game, take a topic-specific workshop to improve your deals, short game, blows on the green, or from the sand bunker.
-
Independent training on the pitch: Regularly visiting the driving range, completing training rounds, and participating in tournaments will help you succeed and ultimately slim down your handicap.
