In the US handicap system, a scratch golfer might have an average score of around 75-77. Part of the reason is that the worst half of scores are thrown out for handicap purposes. As another point of reference, PGA Tour pros would have handicaps ranging from plus 6 to plus 9. Finally, PGA Tour pros play on more difficult courses and conditions, so their handicap on a more ‘normal’ course would be about plus 8 to plus 11.
