Back story, I am a 9 handicap golfer. Lowest round ever is an 80, (39 for 9 holes). I usually shoot mid-80s, depending on difficulty/knowledge of course, etc.
Is it just me that finds something weird about your handicap? That your all time best is only an 80, so roughly +8, yet you handicap is 9? I'm not meaning to criticise or accuse you of anything btw, it's just in my experience someone's best ever score tends to be quite a bit lower than their handicap. I guess that's more true the higher the handicap, but as a 9 cap, I would have expected the odd mid 70s? I say this as someone with no clue about handicaps - I just stick the scores in the machine and wait till it tells me what I am!
