im not sure what my index is...

but I'm a 12 handicap...
my course is a 134 slope...

How long ago did you play college golf? What were your thoughts on your time playing in school? I have mixed feelings on it, but definitely glad it's something I tried, and have some awesome memories/friends from it.

Just started keeping a handicap in early December, haven't posted a score in a month, pulled my back out this weekend so it'll be a while until I do again I guess.

+3.0 officially, but I'd say I'm closer to scratch.

I don't like the way the GHIN system is set up, I think it gives out artificially low numbers, sometimes by a lot. My dad, for instance has broken 80 once in his life, is probably a 13 or 14 handicap, but his GHIN cap is 8.x. Doesn't make sense to me.

I played college golf from 84-88. I enjoyed the experience very much.
I know about those back problems,
hope yours gets well soon

Where did you play? If you don't want to give exact details, how about generally? Mississippi college? Alabama college? (I got my butt kicked by a Huntingdon player back in college in the 80's)

I went to Ole Miss.
Huntingdon College had a very good program. Joe Durant among others.
We had one transfer to Ole Miss, Clayton Covey.

I believe Huntingdon had unlimited scholarships, and their own private plane.

We drove down to Florida to play in a tournament in Pensacola and I got paired the first round with a red-shirted NAIA All-American. He shot 72 and I shot in the 90s. The trip was a "gift" from our coach for doing so well the previous season. Unfortunately it was in February and none of us had played for months.....good times.

I guess you played about the same time Dave Peege was there?

Peege was a senior my freshman year. What a great player he was. 2 time first team all america. And Darren Cole was just as good. We finished 4th in the NCAA in '85.
Also on that team:
Glen Day
Vance Veazey (Nationwide winner)
Chip Sullivan (PGA Club Pro Champion in '07)

Then you were the fifth player on the team?

Darren and Dave were exempt. There were about 8 of us that competed for the other 3 spots. I played 5 of the 13 tournies. The worst thing in the world to me then was being at home when they were playing.

I estimate Darren and Dave would've each played to a +4 handicap.
The rest of us between +1 and 1.
