How is my Handicap calculated?

  1. Calculate Differential: (Adjusted Gross Score - Course Rating) x 113 / Slope Rating [rounded to nearest tenth]
  2. Calculate Handicap Index: Multiply the Differential by 1.00 and drop all the digits after the tenths (do not round off)
  3. Get an average of the differentials used by adding them together and dividing by the number used (The average is the handicap)

What is Adjusted Gross Score?

The game of golf is based on the premise that a player will play as well as the player can play. Under most handicap systems, each player is required to record a hole score for a hole not finished, not played, or not played under "The Rules of Golf," and to reduce any hole score when it is higher than the maximum number allowed under Equitable Stroke Control.
