                                    Calculating Handicaps

 

Step 1 Select the latest 5 round played.    Example

Valley Green  Par 71    Briarwood Par 72    Briarwood Par 72    Armitage Par  70    Honey Run  Par 72

​

  My scores         90                             88                            79                           84                              91

Difference between the course handicap and my score is recorded below.

                           19                             16                            7                             14                              19

 

Step 2 Select the lowest 3 scores, from the latest 5 round played 

Briarwood 88   Briarwood 79   Armitage  84     Eliminated Valley Green 90

And Honey Run 91

 

Step 3 Subtract the par of the course from the player's score to get the score differential 

Briarwood 16   Briarwood 7   Armitage 14

​

Step 4 Add the three score differentials 

 Total is 37

​

Step 5 Divde the total score differential by 3 to get the average differential

Average Differential is 12.33

        

Step 6 Multiply the average differential by 90% (.90) to get the handicap   12.33 multiplied by .90% Equals the handicap  of 11.09
