Do I need a handicap before playing Champions?

I saw that Champions says no handicap is needed. Does that mean it is okay for a total beginner if I can keep pace?

This sounds familiar. I would keep the next step small and use one of the site tools before changing too much.

Good question. The answer depends on pace, safety, and whether the course feels fair from the tees you choose.

I tried something similar last month. Writing notes after the round helped me more than trying to fix it during play.
