8 hcp, played about 35 years, took it up more seriously when I had to quit football after two knee surgeries... These days I'm more of a fairweather type, no more playing in rain and snow and stuff. 8 hcp is pretty easy to keep, practice once or twice a week (chips, putts, short irons and drivers), play 5-10 tournaments per year (local stuff), and every now and then just for fun with friends.
