    I have a SkyCaddie SG3.5 and I sync my scores to SkyGolf after each round.  I have recently seen that people with handicaps of 30 and 32 are posting scores of 67 or 68 on a 72 par course.  Scores (40+) posted are between 100 and 115 with slopes of 118 to 125.  Are these people posting true scores or what?  I keep 20 of the most recent scores and the best of 10 are used to give me my handicap.  My highest right now is a 93 with the lowest at 78.  Consistent scores of 80 - 84 make up the rest.  My handicap is between 9 and 10.  My question is this:  Are these scores true?  I'm not saying it can't happen, but 4 or 5 under when you are always 28 to 43 over par? I would like other comments from Team Titleist as to what ya think.

    Thanks for reading this,

    Anything's possible, but personally, I'm not buying that.  Doesn't seem probable.

    The great thing about an online posting is no one else gets to sign your scorecard.  Some folks will try to game "the system".  My bet is 30 strokes under average is by the same ones that catch the 18 inch trouts when fishing by themselves.

    Golf is a game that expects personal responsibility to not use the foot wedge and to report a accurate score.  If the 67s get used in a handicap calculation that is then applied to a competition, then it would hurt them.  So hopefully they are working on bragging rights only and hopefully I won't have to play them to have to watch for the 15th club (and 16th if they use both feet).
