Man, you have some very low scores - and a few of them - for a 4 handicapper. Your best scores scores are in line more with a scratch golfer. Are you really streaky or something?

+4 is different than 4...

What's the difference?

[ceyoung]

+4 means 4 strokes better than scratch. for example michelle wie is a +6

I'm really f'ing good at Tiger Woods, my handicap is like a -16 or something.

Hmm..I never knew it was kept below scratch. So +3.9 - that's basically pro golfer caliber.

I'd say most PGA Tour pros would have handicaps of +5 and above. While +4 is quite good, it is extremely difficult to take 1 shot off your game at a high level.

BTW, +3.9 was my peak. When I was playing a lot of golf, I mainly hovered around +2.5 or so.

Average about 90 (bogey golf)
Best 9: 37
Best 18: 77 (with a stupid 2 shot penalty for playing the wrong ball)
Play 1 or 2 times per week in the spring - fall

I was under the impression that handicaps were capped at +3.5.
