Has this happened to you? You are playing in a golf tournament, and you notice the number of handicap strokes isn't the same as when you are playing a "casual round" with friends on the same course. When I say "casual round," I mean the scoring could involve bets or not, but you are still using the number of handicap strokes calculated by your GHIN app.
