When the ball lies near a water sprinkler can I make a drop without penalty just to have a better stance?

Check local rules for full ruling. But the official rule is, if the sprinkler head affects your stance, or is within two club lengths of your line of play you are entitled to a free drop. You take your free drop as normal, within one club length from the nearest point of relief, no closer to the hole.

How do professional golfers make the cut and is it 10 strokes from the leader or based on the best scores?

It is sort of a combination of both. They are looking for a specific number in the final rounds, but will adjust slightly based on the scores. If they are expecting 50 in the final round and the cut for the number happens to have a dozen people tied in a place they will add a few people to get all of those that score the same in the cut.

What should your handicap be to hit from the white blue and black tees?

There's not really any rule. It depends on the course. If you're playing a busy championship-caliber course and you're a 30 handicap hacker, don't play the championship tees, whatever color they are. You'll spend half the afternoon looking for balls and hitting provisionals. It will slow down play for everybody. On the other hand, on Wednesday afternoon at West Fencepost Municipal, where the most serious hazard is those hot dogs that go round and around on the weenie treadmill, there's no reason not to knock yourself out. In other words, use good sense. Stand on the back tee at the first and tenth and ask yourself if it looks like fun or torture. If the scorecard lists the rating and slope of each set of tees, use it as a guide. If the slope is under 113 (which is average), go for it. Slopes over, say, 130 are for pretty serious golfers. And if you get four holes in and find out you made a mistake, change.

Virtually all professional golfers have a zero or better handicap, by the USGA standards.
