Some golfers are "cheating" with the handicap system and don't even realize it. This "cheating" tends to give an advantage to higher handicap players and a disadvantage to lower handicap players. (This is because this issue happens more frequently with higher handicap players). When posting to GHIN, many golfers simply post their front nine and back nine totals, not their hole-by-hole score. For handicap purposes, the maximum you can take on a hole is net double bogey. When posting front nine and back nine total score, you are supposed to make this adjustment. If you made higher than net double bogey on a hole, you are supposed to adjust your score down to net double for that hole. There are golfers that are NOT doing this. They are just posting their actual gross scores. I think it should be mandated that golfers enter their hole-by-hole gross score for each round they play. I know @YipStrickler would approve.
