Totally agree with this. And taking it a step further one could say any single score on it's own is not that reliable, when taken in aggregate the cream definitely rises to the top

In many places, it is known as the sport of the "white old mens club" (figure of speech) or the 1%, because of the restricted club memberships, expensive green fees, and huge variation in equipment costs, which can be in the thousands of dollars for a single decent club.
Except most public course have fees that are $20 per person, maybe $30 if you get a cart, and a decent set of clubs will run you a couple hundred dollars retail. Sure, if you want to play at places like Pebble Beach or Augusta National it will cost a ton of money (if you even have the handicap to get in), but there are many golf courses out there that are very affordable.
This kind of proves the first poster's point. YOU cannot play at Augusta National as it is exclusively for the top 1% of the top 1%. Pebble Beach is public though, I believe a round is somewhere in the range of $200+ plus the the $16 toll to drive on the road that leads up to it(seriously. The course is public but the community it is located in is private).
