It's the same with most of the Championship courses. That's how the Handicap system works. On ridiculously easy courses, you need to shoot low numbers.
What's the deal with keeping your handicap down? It's supposed to be an accurate representation of your potential scores and the system does a fairly good job at calculating that.
