Some, or perhaps most, golfers will have heard someone at some stage say, “Oh, watch out for him – his handicap travels well,” or, “That will be a tough match to win – their handicaps travel well from that club.”
And most of us understand the implication that their home club is more difficult than other courses and their golf handicaps are higher than they would be if they played elsewhere, so when they do play elsewhere, they find it easy to play to handicap or better.
