Read More »Running my Youtube channel has shown me it is crystal clear that there are large populations of people who have no idea how the handicap system works. That's fine but talking about handicaps or other peoples handicaps makes you look like a dummy if you don't know how it works in the first place. So here's the real deal no-fluff guide for you. It is NOT a measure of your self-worth or ego vs another person. A handicap is just something that we use to play stroke play or match play games against people of differing handicap levels. It is not some reflection of self worth. People get so caught up in the handicap as if being higher than someone else means you're less of a person. How to Calculate Golf Handicap Index - Golf Handicap Explained There is a formula that the World Handicap System uses to get your handicap. It is merely a reflection of your potential and not your average score. Golf Handicap Meaning A golf handicap is a number assigned as a measurement of a golfer's potential that allows people of different ability to play against one another. For example, a zero handicap can play against an 18 handicap. After the round, the 18 handicap must subtract 18 shots and the scratch golfer must subtract zero shots. Then we equalize for handicap. Handicap Differential Formula Handicap differential = (Adjusted Gross Score-rating of the course) X 113 / Course slope ratings. The course rating is simply the scores of a new golfer on a normal course under a normal playing condition. Best 8 out of last 20 differentials only The last 20 rounds you play go toward your handicap. They count your best 8 out of those 20. That is why they say, the handicap system is a measure of your POTENTIAL. What is Score Differential in Golf? What does differential mean in golf handicap? The DIFFERENTIAL is the difference between your score and the stroke rating and slope rating for that day on the golf course. This does not merely mean they count your strokes and minus par and that's your handicap. These ratings can change depending on the tee, distance, flag positions, weather conditions, turf conditions...everything. Here's an example of someone shooting a score of 80 six times in a row. Now with only 6 scores, the system counts the 2 best. But more importantly, note how he shot 80 with different COURSE RATINGS and SLOPE RATINGS. These are measures of difficulty and so the differential ranges from 2.6 to 8.1. He didn't even shoot 2.5 over par once, but that's his handicap index. The ignorant person would say "he is an 8 handicap". Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Handicap Differential Example Here is a table of how to calculate a handicap differential chart. With 6 straight rounds of 80, you would think the persons handicap index is 8. But it is actually 2.5 Golf Handicap Chart - Index Do not assume someone's handicap based on a shot here or there. Don't judge a person's handicap after one round. If you do, you put yourself in the same position to be judged by the very same people. The thing with a handicap is that because there are 20 scores, and only 8 counting at any one time, the other 12 mean nothing, until you start replacing your scores with higher scores. So it's easier to go DOWN in handicap than it is to go UP. A scratch handicapper can shoot a 90 or a few scores in the high 80's and it's not going to make a difference to his handicap, because his handicap will be calculated from the 8 best differentials. Here is an example of a 3.8 handicap index: Golf Index vs Handicap The handicap index is "a measurement of a player's potential ability on a course of standard playing difficulty," according to the USGA. The golfer uses the handicap index to calculate his handicap at a certain course, based on the difficulty/slope rating/stroke rating of that course. For example your HANDICAP INDEX could be 3.8 but at Bethpage Black, from the back tees, your HANDICAP for that course is actually 12 (TWELVE)!

Read More »Golf Handicap Maximum Strokes per Hole According to the World Handicap System, the maximum score you can make on a hole is the par of the hole plus your handicap for that hole plus 2 more shots. Maximum Strokes per Hole = Par of the hole + 2 shots + the number of strokes allowed to you on the hole according to your course handicap. If you are an 18 handicapper, you can make a maximum of triple bogey every hole. If you score a 10 on a par 5, your score in the handicap system will be an 8. 18 handicap maximum score per hole is TRIPLE BOGEY = Par + 2 shots + 1 shot (handicap allowance every hole) Scratch golfer maximum score per hole is DOUBLE BOGEY = Par + 2 strokes + 0 strokes What is a 16 Handicap Golfers Average Score? Average score of a 16 handicapper is around 90. The 16 mid handicapper will mostly shoot 90-95 with the occasional score below 80. Always remember that average scores are usually about 3-5 shots higher than the handicap index.
