I play with some guys who literally claim to be single digit handicappers and I regularly play better than them. They dont like to play with me because I make them take penalties and I force them to follow the rules when taking score. So they always have an excuse of why they shot an 85 instead of a 75. But everytime they play and I'm not a round I hear them telling people in the clubhouse they shot 3 over for the day. I just bite my tongue b/c one day they will get blackballed out of the club for cheating and I will be one happy camper.
Some guys also brag about their girlfriends being awesome (ugly) or their dog being the best in the world, or the car they drive. I don't listen to any of that. I can tell you without doubt that a 5 handicap can shoot 85 or 90 on a really bad day just as easily as a guy that shoots 95 normally can have his best day ever and shoot 82. The difference is that one of them is doing it from the back tees and the other from the whites but that is less important than some people think.
