So much talk about how to lower your golf handicap, but what is the actual calculation used to determine the golf handicap. Here it is, we have it right here. You could do this for yourself and determine your own golf handicap. The process is not complicated but you will see that it is quite a lot of work to determine your current handicap.
The Golf Handicap Calculation is a 3
step process. Each step must be done after each round of golf to
determine the most up to date handicap. Golf Handicap Calculation - Step 1 The first step is creating the round differential. This is done by using just a few factors. We use the following factors in determining the round differential.
This is the actual formula used to create each score differential.
(Your Score – Course Rating) X 113 / Slope Rating = Score Differential
Example:
Score = 85 The actual calculation would now look like this:
(85 – 72) X 113 / 123 =
11.94
The next step is to determine how many
round differentials will be used in the golf handicap calculation.
The minimum number of rounds is 5 and the maximum number is 20.
This means you must have at lest 5 rounds of golf played to
determine your handicap. When you reach over 20 rounds of golf
played, then you will drop the oldest round each time you add a
new round. Your golf handicap is determined by using your best 10
rounds of the last 20 rounds of golf you have played. There is a
chart that will show you how many round scores are used to do the
golf handicap calculation. You will always use your lowest scores
when selecting which rounds are used. The last step will produce your golf handicap. In our example we will use the number of rounds played as the maximum of 20. With 20 rounds played you will use your 10 best scores. First you will total your 10 best score differentials created in step 1. Total the 10 best differentials and then divide by the number of rounds, 10. The last part of the calculation is to take the last calculation and multiply this number by .96 (96%) and keep 2 decimals with no rounding. This is your golf handicap.
