Analysing the data closer, Golf GameBook says: "If your handicap is over 34, you and your handicap group scored 119 shots on average. And if your handicap is below 5, you usually just broke 80 and played 78 shots on average. All other handicap groups played something between these scores.
"For low handicappers, 0.26% of all scores were eagles, and if your handicap is over 34, you did birdies with this same probability. Low handicappers found greens on every second hole, while high handicappers needed 20 holes to get one green hit.
"On average, low handicappers needed 32 putts per round and high handicappers more than 40. This is a great opportunity for players with a higher handicap to drop a good number of shots during a round and improve their game."
