If you are a 4 in golf, where does that put you, in comparison to all other golfers. If you take that slot, and give it a FargoRate, what would that number be?

I think a 4 in golf is probably ahead of 98% of all golfers. I'd say it's puts you in the high 600s in fargo.

No, not NPR, definitely pool related. Lots of guys on here play both. If you’ve reached a certain level in one, what is the equivalent level in the other. For instance, PT109 has played both at a high level
The USGA has a detailed page with this information for golf in the US: https://www.usga.org/handicapping/us-stats.html
A 4 handicap for men puts you roughly in the 94th percentile among people with handicaps.

In that post they say that among male players the mean is 499 and SD is 98.5. This implies a 94th percentile rating of about 670.
The main issue here is that Fargo's population is heavily upwardly biased in terms of skill level compared to golf handicaps - despite millions of people playing pool every year only 65,000 players have an established Fargo rating. By contrast 3 million players have a USGA handicap. Because of this I don't think it's legit to compare 94th percentile Fargo to 94th percentile USGA handicap.

Excellent post, I think you nailed it. I shouldn’t be so disappointed with my progress. But damn, it feels like I should be 670
. At this stage of life, I’ll never get there. I’m gonna keep trying though.
