Out of curiosity over a cup of coffee on a Sunday morning, I did a search on the average golf score and the average handicap. Although I found several answers, they all seemed to point to somewhere around the following:
• The average score on an 18-hole regulation golf course was 97 in 2004. Average score was 95 for men and 106 for women.
• The percentage of adult golfers by score category are: Score under 80 (8% of golfers); 80-89 (20%); 90-99 (31%); 100-119 (30%); and 120 and above (11%).
• Twenty-one percent of all golfers maintain a handicap. The average handicap (among those who maintain one) is 15 for men, 23 for women, and 16 overall.
Also, this is an interesting chart from USGA:

What do you think the average handicap of THP members would be?
