This type of thing is exactly my point. How can we rely on golf handicap alone to determine anything.

I don't get to play that often, but over Christmas holidays (if I can fit in a game a day--I do.). My scores dramatically drop---but my distance stays the same with my clubs--my aim just gets better.
