Yes that is good. The lower the score the better. I cant even get below a positive 5!
It refers to a player who has a handicap of 1-9, a player who plays of 0 is known as scratch and a player who plays of + would be known as a plus handicapper.
You get a shot on the holes as determined by the stroke index or handicap as set on the score card. So if your handicap is 9, you get one shot on each of the holes ranked 1-9 on the stroke index or handicap index. Using your handicap, you get a shot on the hardest holes 1 being the hardest and 18 being the easiest.
Typically, you take 50% of the combined handicaps of both players. Then you apply the handicap to the course handicap holes.....So if the players have a total 14 handistrokes they would get a stroke in Handicap holes 1-14....

Do you believe in yourself, that you can turn pro when you are 20? 16, is a good handicap for a player who has only been playing for one year, so you clearly have natural ability. If you want to turn pro, you will need to put 6 years very very hard work in. You should consider a good swing coach and plenty of practice.You should also enter as many competitions as you are eligible for, and join as many teams as you can. Down the line you will think of high level amateur events and maybe even college golf. You should not be in any rush to turn pro by 20, a lot of college players wait till 22, 23.The majority of professional golfers reach +3 to +5 before they turn pro.
Most golfers can not legitimatly break 100. That said, of people who consider themselves 'golfers', I'd suggest the average to be around 18 or 20. If you can shoot in the 90's, you have nothing to be worried about, and you're probably in that range.
