Actually he doesn't really say much at all. He is a nice enough guy but has a handicap problem that he refuses to acknowledge. Maybe we need to stage an intervention LOL!

So a nice enough guy, meaning used car salesman. Al Swindler.

What is hard for me to figure out is why that guy would want to do that.

If I were a theoretical 7 handicap and shot 100-plus on my homecourse, it would embarrass me to death. Why does this guy even want to play with legit single-digit guys?

Since my game has hit the skids in recent years, I won't even enter competitions.

That's the part I can't understand either. Why would you claim a single handicap and then prove time in and time out that you are no where close to it?

Can I direct you to this topic?

Or, rather, maybe you can direct him there.

Maybe he thinks that handicap is a fair representation of what his golf skill could be and has concocted some justification for why he does not actually achieve it.

I read it and agree it but the Hurricane of 78 is in total denial.
