Some believable, some not. JFK not a pro level golfer. Handicaps don’t really work like most people think.

8 best of last 20.

A golfer must play better than average to beat their handicap.

Usually, out of 20rouns, I’ll beat it 3 to5 times depending on if I’m trending up or down on the index.

Very hard to beat handicap twice in a row.

A 2.8 handicap would require any person to play golf a minimum of 4 times a week. A 6.7 would require a minimum of 3 times a week.


I got down to a 5.4 playing 1.5 times (27 holes) a week. Now I play every 3 weeks or so and am probably a 10-12.

Also, you can shoot 77-78 for half your scores and over 80 for the rest and be a 2-3 handicap if your course rating is 75+ with a high slope.

Where has it been documented?

Actually, Bill Clinton has cheated in golf in front of Professional Golfers (stated by many who have played with him).

This is maybe the lowest their handicaps ever got? Not the handicap they carry usually.

Doubt FDR was golfing in a wheel chair
