Chicago is a golf game format where players start the round with a negative number of points based on their handicap. Scratch golfers start at -39 with each handicap stroke over scratch adding one point to the starting figure (i.e. 20 handicapper would start with -19, 10 handicapper -29, etc.).
Golfers then try to get out of the hole by adding one point for a bogey, two points for par, four points per birdie, and eight points for an eagle. This fun format encourages players to take risks trying to score under par; especially considering a double bogey or worse is all worth zero points and doesn't bring down your score further. The player with the highest score (negative or not) wins.

Does this mean a player with a low handicap has an advantage to win? I am confused
