The expected Goal percentages are based on handicap levels (0-4, 5-8, etc.). If you are a member of a private peer group, playing at a different course and handicap level may result in a different set of group goals being used for that round. Since you can change your individual goals at any time, you could change them to reflect a different handicap prior to round entry and then change them back later on when you get back to your home course. This is not advised, however.
