    Probably not a good idea to compare yourself with others when starting off. People progress at different speeds due to several things like levels of skill, amount of practice and lessons etc.

    I started playing golf when I was kid, we used to knock a ball around the park beside us and then we progressed to pitching putt. When I joined a club I hit the ground running and after a year I was off 8.

    I'd imagine that with plenty of practice and a few lessons you could knock plant of shots of your handicap in the first year.
