Your Handicap Index is calculated by averaging the best 10 rounds out of your last Those best rounds are determined by calculating what is called a Handicap differential which is essentially your score minus the par of the course. In stroke play, it is used to calculate a net score from the number of strokes played during a competition, thus allowing players of different proficiency to play against each other on somewhat equal terms.
With 2-person teams, 4BBB can be played as stroke play or match play. Q: How often should I play to — or beat — my handicap? For example, a player with a course handicap of 16 on a course with a rating of In reality, your score average is normally three more strokes than that, or an Because of time constraints, you may prefer to play 9-hole rounds.
If that's the case, you should calculate your 9-hole handicap index as well. Figuring out the 9-hole handicap differentials used to calculate your index involves making a simple adjustment to the hole handicap differential formula: You divide course ratings by 2. Calculate the adjusted course rating by dividing the given course rating by 2. This applies only to hole courses. But your 'course handicap' will probably, but not necessarily change.
You must make an additional adjustment to account for the differences in the course ratings. Here is an example of the problem Assume that there is some odd-ball but interesting handicapped stroke play tournament, where the winner is the player who shoots the best handicap adjusted score. Further assume that each player draws a 'ball from a hat' to determine the tees that he plays - from the forward tees at yards to the TIPS at yards. So A and B both have handicap indexes of 1. A draws the forward tees, looks up his course handicap 1 and plays from there.
These guys have identical skill levels, but have to compete at the same course handicap, even though one of them is playing a course yards shorter than the other.
Obviously something is horribly wrong here - and what is wrong is that the adjustment for the difference in course ratings was not accounted for in the USGA Handicap Manual. Sometimes not very much, perhaps a single shot, but change they do. You can post now and register later. If you have an account, sign in now to post with your account. Paste as plain text instead.

BCC Posted December 9, You both get shots on hdcp holes , you give him additional shots on hdcp holes Sawgrass Posted December 9, KevCarter Posted December 9, I could be wrong I've been wrong before I'll be wrong again.
Pepperturbo Posted December 9, Titleist TS2 Newby Posted December 9, TigerStrong Posted December 9, If your a 5 and he's a 9 he gets shots on the 4 hardest handicap holes.
MichiganMike Posted December 9, Posted February 11, Most golf scorecards contain several rows of information. For example, a scorecard will always have the "Hole" row, the numbers 1 through 18 corresponding to the holes being played.
Beneath that will likely be at least three more rows let's say, for example, "Red," "White," and "Blue;" or "Forward," "Middle," and "Back" that identify the tees being played and the yardages for each hole on the course. There is usually also a line identified as "Handicap," or "HCP," a row of numbers that appear to be in random order.
What do those numbers mean? How are they used by the golfer? The incomplete answer is that the Handicap row is a ranking of the holes of the golf course in order of difficulty, from the most difficult 1 to the least But the complete answer is a more nuanced than that.
So let's explore. The "Handicap" line of the scorecard rates the holes for use by golfers who carry a handicap index. The handicap index is used to produce a course handicap , and the course handicap tells golfers how many strokes they get to take off their gross scores to produce a net score. Remember, the purpose of the handicap system is to allow golfers of different playing abilities to play fair matches against one another.
If I have a handicap of 27 and you have a handicap of 4, you'll beat me every time if we are using our gross actual scores. The handicap system produces a net score by allowing the weaker player to reduce his score—to "take a stroke" as it's called—on designated holes. The "Handicap" line of the scorecard is how those holes are designated.
