  • Do golfers LIE about their Handicap? The Divot Dudes, Conner and Adam, are going to find out! We called out a random golfer to see if he was honest about his 4.7 handicap. We did a 6 hole match and it was a GOOD one.
    Shout out to Will for being down for a challenge on the fly! Hope you guys enjoy the video. Where should we go next?

I'm going WTF, I'm gonna tell him I'm scratch but not playing up to it. 5:30 Most handicaps are determined on match play and not stroke play. Which makes it hard to evaluate a true handicap.

    Will is legit. He had some good swings and clearly has the distance with long clubs, which will make his next approach shots with low irons more likely and thus scoring better. Definitely needs to work on his short game (which he was doing when they found him). The chip on 5 I would have taken a little lower lofted club and ran the ball out more as he wasn't far from the green. His handicap will drop when he fixes/fine tunes chipping and putting. Also, Adam played well

    Handicap system is better than using average score. Remember average score doesn’t take into consideration the difficulty of the course or what tee boxes you played, or weather or anything else. Handicap system does. While it’s not perfect it’s definitely better than using average to compare 2 players.
    If I average 80 playing off the front tee boxes and you average 85 playing the tips… am I really a better golfer than you by 5 strokes? Not a chance.

    No the system isn’t flawed. Handicap is your potential. A players that shoots a bunch of mid to high 70s round, offset but a 90s round is not the same player as one that consistently shoots mid 80s but never breaks 80. Only thing wrong with handicap is sandbaggers but you will never fix that in local competition.
