I think we have to remember that a HC (as most know) is ones potential and that's where the difference is. I think a handicap is a tad more accurate (or reasonable) for the better and more consistent player as he would (generally speaking) play with a closer spread in his scores from round to round. In those cases I think its a better reflection of ones ability. But with the higher cap player, the higher the spread generally speaking in round to round scoring so then the HC would (for him) tend to seem a tad lower then he may deserve or feel like he deserves. In those cases (such as myself) I think it reflects better daily ability than what the player is. But again its all because its based on potential so it really only reflects his potential and not his daily ability. So I think its a bit more fitting on the better players vs the lessor abled ones.
