Hey everyone…
I’ve been hearing the term “scratch golfer” thrown around a lot lately, and I’m not quite sure what it means. Can someone explain it to me?
Thanks.

A scratch golfer is a player who consistently scores at or below par—72 on an 18-hole course, on average. The amount over par you typically shoot is your handicap. Individuals will calculate a running average of their scores, which provides them with a handicap. The course they played on each round is assessed for difficulty for a national handicap; this is done so that golfers of similar skill can compete in non-professional events.
