the difference between scratch and "nationwide tour" huge. there are many guys trying to keep their nationwide card so they dont have to drop down a tour where there are zero fans watching. the average handicap on the nationwide tour is probably +4 and the contenders are close to +10. every shot after scratch is that much harder to drop as the better you play the less room you have for improvement. If you are going to chase ur dream, stay on the putting green for the first month and if you cant make 10 flat 12-15 footers in a row at the end of the month i would find something different to put your time to.

+10??? I think that's in the ballpark of what they calculated Tiger's tournament handicap around the time of the US Open at Pebble Beach. You know, when he played almost perfect golf?

I agree with +4, but I think +10 is few and far between (depending on what courses you're talking about)
