How do I get a handicap?

Hi,

I'm fairly new to the game but progressing well.

I spent a fair amount of time on the driving range and got a few rounds recently with reasonable results given the length of time I've been playing.

The question I have is, how do I go about getting a handicap and how does the process work after that? I.e. how do I reduce my handicap.

Many Thanks in advance.

Steve

You find a club that has a handicap system installed. You pay the yearly fee, and enter your scores. The hdcp value will change as you enter scores.

To lower it, don't hit the ball very often! (-;
