I suspect most people with self-reported 15 handicaps are not actually a 15. That range of golfer typically does not count or play penalties correctly; does not take stroke and distance for OB, does not drop at the point of entry on a lateral hazard, takes way too many gimmies, breakfast ball on number 1, etc. They probably gain a few strokes if they played it by the book, which they must in a tournament.
I say this as close to a 15 myself, as I know I'm probably not following the rule book perfectly.
