Have you ever played with a known handicap cheat?

[Backache]

I played out of my skin and beat a v low handicapper in a matchplay - but even though I was v happy with my game on that day and the result, I still didn’t get a lower gross score than him so I honestly don’t feel that I ‘beat’ him

Personally I feel the original point of handicap is really matchplay rather than stroke play. Yes you had strokes but you still beat him because you won more holes though you won with a handicap. I aways feel in matchplay I am playing someone else whereas in stroke play I am playing the course. I pretty much ignore my placing in strokeplay and am really interested in my score and how it compares with previous scores rather than with other peoples, or on a new course how I performed against my expectations.
