I know I'm going to take some crap for this but......
I just can't believe that there are 10+ handicaps out there who can shoot under par. If it is a legit score, then congratulations.. but I mean really, how often do golfers even shoot their handicap? Just wanted to put that out here, so go ahead, let me have it.

It's CAREER low round so that 10+ handicap could have been scratch some time ago when he/she shot their round.

Just a thought....
