Ever Wondered How to Calculate Your Golf Handicap?

Learning how to Calculate Handicap in Golf can be very confusing for some. Luckily for us, in most cases your Local Golf Club will take on the burden of Calculating your Golf Handicap for you. However, it is always nice to have an understanding of how the Golf Handicapping System works.

How to Calculate Handicap in Golf - What your local Golf Club Committee will need in order to Calculate your Golf Handicap!

As i mentioned above, your local Golf Club Committee will take on this responsibility of Calculating your Golf Handicap for you. However, most of them will require to you submit at least 5 Score Cards, fully completed, with all the Gross Scores marked down, so they can give you an initial Golf Handicap. If these Score Cards are from different Golf Courses, then you will also need to make a note of the following:

The Standard Scratch Score of the Course - which is the measure of the playing ability of a Golf Course for a Scratch Golfer under normal course and weather conditions.

The Slope Rating of the Course - which indicates how much harder the Golf Course plays for the Average Golfer, i.e. not a Scratch Golfer.

Both of these can normally be found on the Golf Score Card, however if not, then simply ask at the Golf Course concerned.

How to Calculate Handicap in Golf - This is how your Golf Club Committee will Calculate your Golf Handicap!

> Once you have submitted your 5 Score Cards, they will then take each Card and sub-track the appropriate Standard Scratch Score from the Gross score recorded. This will give them 5 new totals to work with.

> With these 5 new totals they will then multiply each one by 113, which is the universal number used for official US Golf Association Handicaps. Again, this will give them 5 new totals to work from.

> Once they have these new totals they will divide them by the Slope Rating figure of the appropriate Course, which will give them what is commonly referred to as the Golf Differential.

> Finally, to give you your official Golf Handicap they will take the lowest of the 5 Scores calculated and multiply this figure by 0.96 and this will then be your official Golf Handicap.

Once you have an official Golf Handicap it will be regularly monitored and adjusted when you play in Competitions and submit more Golf Score Cards.
