I think Tau was saying the scratch golfers at the college level are legitimate scratch golfers since they're recording scores from tournaments and whatnot.
Yea, there are definitely scratch players at a lot of clubs that are 'ego scratch' - that is, they only post their best scores, or even scores a little better than their best scores, if you know what I mean, just so they can say they have a low handicap. I'm not talking about those guys.
College golfers lose a lot of money to the 'old' guys at my club...
