While playing a modified game may be fun - it isn't golf!
I've seen too many players who either move the ball or take a drop for no reason then come in and say " I shot an 83" (or whatever). Sounds great but was probably more like a 93.
Accept what your handicap is and try to improve!

Absolutely. Golf is cool in that it is handicapped and has different tees. Any one at any age can compete against anyone with the system. It is Yu against the course. There were some studies done, unofficially, that
Estimate that the normal occasional golfer who says he breaks a hundred is probably shooting in the mid teens. Why, mulligans, conceded putts, improper play when out of bounds or lost ball, etc.
I agree, no matter wht your score, record it, you're only cheating yourself. Just go out and have fun. If you snoot 130, well, it's 130. When you come down to 120 you have something to celebrate. It's all relative. Enjoy the get a way and the temporary espcape from reality.
And the complaint about how long it takes, heck at TV Ypu have the exec courses.lay em quickly on the easier courses until you get better.
If any of us were any good, we would be on television!
