@BrianL, you are probably a scratch golfer, correct! very impressive given the difficulty of the sport.

I'm far from scratch. Getting that low at 70+ years old is tough. I was 5.3 when I left TV last May. I've been between 3-6 for about 15 years. I've had a nagging injury for a few months and up to around 8 now.
It's extremely tough to keep a low handicap in TV, because of the course ratings & slope. To be scratch, you'd need to shoot under par most every day, from the Blue or Gold Tees.
To give you an idea, a Scratch Player at Mallory, playing Caroline to Virginia from the Blue Tees, is playing at +4. Shooting 68 isn't easy, no matter what golf course you're playing.
