No, the one you shot 80 on is. The 5 on too high a rating will be fodder.

Some courses are rated too high and some rated too low...tough to tell...... its best to know your own before you bet the house on it.

Lastly, how often are courses rated...........?....they are rated at the bequest of the owners of the course.........who may decide what's best in their best interest

The point is you are currently delfated

We're saying the same thing, we just define inflated and deflated differently in this context
