IF you maintained that parity on 18 hole courses. This assumes that you can drive accurately and a reasonable distance, then the 14 over par for 18 holes multiplied by 96% (that the factor that converts index to handicap) then you would be a 14.4. So, if your drives are in the 200+ range playing from the middle tees (generally, but not necessarily white) AND on the 14 driver holes you have a decent shot in on about ten of the holes, then the 14 is a reasonable guess. Middle tees generally play from 5900 -6400. If you play less than that, add one.
