How far over your handicap do you typically play?!?

How low have you gone below your handicap?

I wanted to brag, so I brought this up, even this year and three under last year along with a one under.

The handicap changes when the best 10 out of the last 20 rounds changes. Anytime I shoot lower than my highest counted differential (or if a low number is bumped out of the last 20 and replaced by a higher number) the handicap will change accordingly.

It depends on whether we are talking the US or UK system.

In the UK your handicap reduces under the following conditions... score handicap + Standard scratch score + buffer zone Just read this page, it explains it well... http://www.mygolfexperience.com/golf...f-handicap.asp That's why I was wondering about how closely you guys in the US play to your handicap (as here you get penalised, albeit not necessarily much) for any off day...

I'm a 7.7 Index currently.
For Last 20 rounds:
-Average is 82.1 (so thats 3-4 shots on Average over my Handicap).
- Low is 76
- High is 90 (Ouch!!!!)
My Low Round in 2009: 73

I am a 1.7 handicap and my scoring average is 77.6. That means I am supposedly averaging 4-5 shots over my handicap (on my par 71 home course). My home course rating is 73+ though, so actually I have only been shooting about 2 shots over what my index says I should be.

handicap is currently an 11.3, but most rounds I play closer to a 14, scoring 87-92.
