Course Handicap™ Explained Q. What does a Course Handicap represent? A. A Course Handicap represents the number of strokes needed to play to the level of a scratch golfer—or the Course Rating™ of a particular set of tees. A Course Handicap is expressed as a whole number (e.g. 12). Course Handicap is determined by using charts located at the golf course where the round is to be played. In addition, a Course Handicap can be calculated by these methods: Course Handicap Calculator: http://www.usga.org/playing/handicaps/calculator/course_handicap_calculator.asp The USGA Handicap System Reference Guide: http://www.usga.org/playing/handicaps/understanding_handicap/Handi_Ref_Manual.pdf Formula: Handicap Index® multiplied by Slope Rating® of tees played, divided by Standard Slope Rating (113) = Answer (rounded to nearest whole number, .4 rounds down and .5 rounds up) Example: 10.4 Handicap Index x 125 Slope Rating / 113 Standard Slope Rating = 11.5 = 12 Course Handicap
Please visit Sections 3-3 and 10-4 of the USGA Handicap System manual for further reference.
