I play 90% of my rounds on my 6712 yard home course par 72 rated 72.6/134 (yards and rating based off the tees I play there) and currently carry a 13.6 handicap based mostly off rounds on that course. My lowest round there is an 81, which is as close as I've come to breaking 80.

So yesterday I play a round with a friend after work at a local course where he is a member and we are playing in the member / guest tourney next month. Good chance for me to learn the course so we weren't playing a super competitive round. The tourney plays from the white tees so that's where we played from. 6200 yards par 72 rated 69.8/117. Shot 40/39 for a 79. Missed a 10 foot eagle putt on the 514 yard 9th hole and lipped at least 2 other birdie putts so the round could have actually been a stroke or two lower. My buddy, who's a 1.8 hdcp, shot 70.

This was my first time breaking 80 and it seemed fairly effortless on this golf course.

For those of you that play regularly on tough courses, is this a classic example of a handicap that travels well?
