Personally, I think it makes players like me seem better than I actually am. I do get a few 8s 9s or even a 10 in a round. Below is an explanation stolen from NCGA.org.
Equitable Stroke Control (ESC) is a procedure whereby abnormally high individual hole scores are adjusted downward prior to the score being posted. ESC sets a maximum number that a golfer can post on any hole, depending on the golfer's Course Handicap (not his Handicap Index). Effective Feb. 1, 1998, individual hole scores will be adjusted for handicap purposes per the following table:
Handicap Maximum score per hole
9 or less Double bogey
10 through 19 7
20 through 29 8
30 through 39 9
40 or more 10
