Catching Random Golfers LYING about their Handicap...
Ойын-сауық
Do golfers LIE about their Handicap? The Divot Dudes, Conner and Adam, are going to find out! We called out a random golfer to see if he was honest about his 4.7 handicap. We did a 6 hole match and it was a GOOD one.
Shout out to Will for being down for a challenge on the fly! Hope you guys enjoy the video. Where should we go next?

Pro tip...anyone that immediately answers with a handicap in tenths of a stroke is not lying about their hcp.

I’m a 5 hdcp and I’d literally have to deliberately sabotage myself hitting driver on every tee to shoot a 90. Golf becomes a mental game the better you get.

Yes he's a 4.7, average a little more, but solid golfer, I'd have him on my team
Will is definitely a 4.7. His swing is nice. The only difference today is 1) first YT video golfing for him, 2) Some of his shorter ships and putts were off. Will is legit.Great job Will!

Great vid. You know this shows that if you are playing someone with a significantly better handicap you shouldn’t get intimidated. It’s golf, anything can and will happen and at worst you might learn something.
Really like this will guy yall should have him more on the channel!
Yes that's golf. Minute differences on any given day.
Not flawed. It’s designed specifically to be representative of your better days on the course. That way, you only get rewarded when playing against others on a good day of golf. It wouldn’t be fair or useful to reward people for an average day

So...have you played in a golf league? Handicaps are flawed and screw better players. Ii loved going up against single digit guys, as about an 11. One year my 4 best rounds in league gave me a 4 handicap for the playoffs...I was giving dudes strokes on par 3s. Absolute garbage.

I always like the guy you're playing golf with, prior to you never met. It's normal to ask what his handicap is. He'll say he's a five but not playing up to it. I'm going WTF, I'm gonna tell him I'm scratch but not playing up to it. 5:30 Most handicaps are determined on match play and not stroke play. Which makes it hard to evaluate a true handicap. But not by twelve strokes
Is this at Harpeth? Some of these tee boxes look a little familiar.

This will dude would be a scratch or + handicap with better short game and putting
The main fault with the handicap system is that moves too much. Rather than best 8 from 20 It should be best 10 from 30 .
Need his hat
Handicap is based on stroke play. This is a match play, scramble.
Baseball player has a very nice swing. Not the best putter. Nice video!
Who’s that hack with the mullet?
Will is legit. He had some good swings and clearly has the distance with long clubs, which will make his next approach shots with low irons more likely and thus scoring better. Definitely needs to work on his short game (which he was doing when they found him). The chip on 5 I would have taken a little lower lofted club and ran the ball out more as he wasn't far from the green. His handicap will drop when he fixes/fine tunes chipping and putting. Also, Adam played well
do another video with will, love to see him play more comfortable
Handicap is typically what you shoot on your best day
Questioning my 18 handicap after watching the 10 handicapper.
I'd say he's probably more around the 7-10 handicap range, you can tell by his ball striking,swing and stiffness straight away but a decent golfer all the same i guess🤷♂️
Yes 4.5
could tell his was a low handicap when he said he was hitting a 2 iron lol
Nashboro golf course
Scramble vs any north of scratch golfer should almost always win.
I wanna play a round with Will.
bro is not a 10hcp ahahah
The HC is totally flawed. Especially for low index players.
He is definitely a good player just didn't have a good day we have all been there, that's golf.

Hi Will..
Defiantly not lying about handicap ... However the guy who plays off 10 ')
definitely 4.7
MLB + 2 iron + good swing + pipes the first shot = guys probably not lying lol
Absolutely is a 4.7, very solid fundamentals. I think even a 14 and 10 playing a scramble is very hard for a 5 index to beat. Often, 4 stacks of 10 handicaps fire -14+ in scrambles. You guys should play these matches best ball. Just saying.

Will is a stick! Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the suggestion! Lots more videos otw with this style and some tweaks as well.
Handicap system is better than using average score. Remember average score doesn’t take into consideration the difficulty of the course or what tee boxes you played, or weather or anything else. Handicap system does. While it’s not perfect it’s definitely better than using average to compare 2 players. If I average 80 playing off the front tee boxes and you average 85 playing the tips… am I really a better golfer than you by 5 strokes? Not a chance.

Carrying a 2 iron and also hitting it means dude can play. A 4 handicap, maybe not quite. But he'll still kick my ass on the course.

Yeah guys a stick tbf. Wants to change the shape of that putter tho. Go blade
Carries a 2 iron, hits a 8 185 yds, hits driver 300+. Yeah Will is legit. You scrubs did pretty good in this one tho. Nice shootin.
Ridiculous nonsense! The guy has an official 4.7 handicap. Why would he lie to some random guy in a golf course car park?
What's the chance that 2 guys are going to have krank drivers. I mean not too many people have them.
The way the USGA handicap works, your average is about 1 in every 5 rounds you’ll cover your handicap….or lower. Too many variables to be consistent, which only the pros and very elite players like celebs or former pro athletes who can also afford trainers every day.
Under armor is better than Nike tho
No the system isn’t flawed. Handicap is your potential. A players that shoots a bunch of mid to high 70s round, offset but a 90s round is not the same player as one that consistently shoots mid 80s but never breaks 80. Only thing wrong with handicap is sandbaggers but you will never fix that in local competition.
The guy is a player.
He's definitely a low handicap player. His swing has good tempo, he hits in the center of the club face and he is long with all of his clubs. His short game was a little off but with 12 more holes to play, I think that he would have settled down and won the match.
