Seems, kind of inaccurate to me, don’t you think? I suppose it’s limited to only those who use an official handicap tracking service.
I read somewhere that 75% of golfers do not track their handicaps, so if this is an accurate percentage, than out of the 25% of golfers that do track their handicaps, the a fore mentioned table displays their dispersion.
Your thoughts?
