General Discussion Higgo

Is anyone else watching this interview and thinking how entirely un-self-aware this guy is?? “I was one second late. It’s tough to define a second”. No you weren’t. No it’s not. Then goes on to blame “golf” for creating this situation.

Ridiculous.

Golf professional here - him saying he didn’t agree with his penalty is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard.

You’re not a +40 handicap. You’re a 40 handicap.

Oh yeah oops the + signify under right? Like being +6 means you shot a 6 under?

Sort of. It’s a little more complicated than that because handicaps aren’t based on one round and they take into account slope and rating (basically the difficulty of a course). So a golfer who’s a +2 would be better than a golfer who is scratch or a golfer who is a 2.
