Do handicaps really provide an accurate representation of skill? I say this as I a bad golfer looking at my results. I'm a 23. I play most rounds from the whites (will move back if playing as a single and paired with people playing further back as distance is the least of my problems). All that said, being a 23, I have a single round of my last 20 below 95 (93). My average strokes above par is 30.
Just seems handicap is skewed to make golfers look better than they are. I realize the worse someone is the more variance the probably have. Anyone else think about this or am I just thinking too much into this?
