He probably gave himself a birdie for the skipped hole when he posted his score for his handicap.
Hole 8 - Frostbottom
The 8th is a long par three that plays across the corner of the Frost Bottom. Again from a high tee, it is a stern test as befits a good penultimate hole but there is lots of room off to the left of the green from where recoveries should not be too demanding. Most play will be from the 180 yards tee, so do not be too daunted by the back tee.
