I agree her attitude was awful, but when she asked your handicap, maybe you could have told her what you usually shoot at the course, in lieu of a handicap.

I think a good starter sets the tone for the day. They should suggest which tees to use, based on handicap or scoring average. They tell you if its cart path only or 90 degrees, if riding, point out any local rules where applicable, and advise you of pace of play standards you're expected to comply with.

Most of the starters I've dealt with are pretty cool, but you do occasionally run into some who act like they hate their job, and take it out on the golfers.
