A plus golfer is generally considered to be a more skilled golfer than a scratch golfer, who has a handicap of zero and is expected to shoot par or better on most courses. In order to be considered a plus golfer, a player typically needs to have a consistently low score and be able to handle a variety of shots and course conditions. Plus golfers are often able to hit a wider range of shots, including fades and draws, and have a good feel for distance control and putting. They may also be more comfortable playing in competitive situations and able to handle the pressure of tight matches.
