Low is 1-5
Mid is 6-15
High is 16+
JMO of course. To me you aren't a "Low handicap" until you are playing and competing in gross scored Tournaments.
Low for me is 7 or under. 8-12 is mid and 13/up is high.

It goes the other way as well would an 8 really be low versus a 0. Anytime you try to break things down it gets messy. I think most of the guidelines that have been laid out have been pretty good.lots of interesting views on this and i didn't think we'd have as many quite as far apart as we are with a number of them.
One view that stands out to me a bit is when some people mention anything more than mid teenish as being high. I mean would a 17 really be high vs say a 26? Imo there is a big difference between those two numbers as for amount of ability and consistency when speaking relatively. And again relatively speaking I could even say the same between a 12 and an 8.
I just feel there are gray areas and can we really call an 8 a mid? in the same category as a 12? Or also call the 17 a high and in the same category as a 26?
IDK

Here's the stats from the USGA. Of course it's important to remember that only about 10% of U.S. golfers carry an official USGA index. It's interesting that 37% are better than a 10.9 but only 10% are better than a 5 index.

I find it pretty amazing and honestly almost unbelievable that about 50% of people with caps are a 13 or better. I get that this is only accounting for people with caps but still that imo is something quite surprising. Getting to 13 is simply very hard to do even for most avid players. I find it hard to believe that 50% of cap players are at that mark and better. I wonder how many vanity caps are really out there and in that stat? Id say far more people run a vanity cap vs a sandbagging one just simply for bragging rights and remember not at all do all cap keepers play completive golf.
not exactly sure which way you were heading with your meaning. A 12.9 is exactly the best I ever got to (for one revision lol) but I would think with that mark you would be in a fairly smaller percentage than 48. Just doesn't sound right to me that nearly 50% are what you are and better. Makes the game sound too easy imo. I almost feel somewhat disheartened and even unlucky that after decades playing 50% of cappers are still better than me. lolJust saw this and my most recent revision was 12.9. I can't believe I'm only in the top 48% of golfers who keep a cap.
