In this episode, we're diving into the intriguing world of golf handicaps and the psychological game behind those elusive numbers. Join us as we examine Scottie Scheffler's stellar progression from a plus five to a plus seven handicap and the jaw-dropping number of strokes Mark and Nick would need to face off against him. We also deconstruct the nitty-gritty of the handicap system, spotlighting vanity handicaps and how playing more golf during the Covid year threw off everyone's numbers.
But that's not all! We'll traverse different states to see why handicaps don't travel well, highlighting how the sunshine state of Florida's flat courses contrasts sharply with the challenging undulating terrain in places like Wisconsin.
We also discuss caddie strategies, the intricacies of sandbagging, and the frustration of players whose game doesn't match their handicap. Listen to our favorite caddie moments, from beef jerky gifts to off-the-green chipping marvels, and understand why lower handicappers are a joy to caddy for.
Plus, we catch a snippet of collegiate football fever as Mark and Nick share their love for the start of the season and the special memories that come with autumn golf.
So grab your favorite beverage, settle in, and tee up another insightful and entertaining round with Caddie Tales!
