taking green card

Hi!

I live in Norway, but I assume its the same way you take greencard in other countries. I just started taking the green card (one day left on the theory part) but after that you have to take the practical test before you get the green card and can play on the course.. the question is for how long did u practice until u took the test, and what did u practice on? and is it hard to pass the practical test?

it's also why 6 hour rounds are the norm on weekends on public courses

God, I LOVE that idea!

the worse you do on the test, the later your tee times have to be.

unfortunately it's a pass/fail test [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

but a lot of european courses (at least northern european?) address the problem by limiting the cumulative handicap of groups. usually it's something like 84 for parties of 4 and 96 for parties of 3. it's a nice change from american munis where they allow 5 complete donkeys on the course in the same group.

you sound like a real fun guy to golf with.

to be honest, this whole forum has entirely too much country-club attitude, which also is the worse thing about golfers in general.

pretty sad.
