| 1. Handicap Setup for this League is as follows... | | | | | |
| Handicap Regulars: 90 Subs: 90 | | | | | | | |
| Number of scores handicap based on: 10 | | | | | | | |
| Minimum number of scores needed before a handicap can be calculated: 2 | | | | |
| # of Scores | Discard | Discard | | | | | | | | |
| Available | Highest | Lowest | | | | | | | | |
| 2 | 0 | 0 | | | | | | | | |
| 3 | 1 | 0 | | | | | | | | |
| 4 | 1 | 0 | | | | | | | | |
| 5 | 2 | 0 | | | | | | | | |
| 6 | 2 | 0 | | | | | | | | |
| 7 | 3 | 0 | | | | | | | | |
| 8 | 3 | 0 | | | | | | | | |
| 9 | 4 | 0 | | | | | | | | |
| 10 | 4 | 0 | <<John has 22 scores prior to event #1 | | | |
| | | | so the underlined parameters are used to determine | | | |
| | | | which scores to use for handicapping. | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| 2. The differentials for these scores are calculated... | | | | | |
| | | Adjusted | | | Course | Course | | | | |
| Date | Event # | Grs Scr | Course Played | Tee | Rating | Slope | Differential | Used | | |
| Practice Score | 48 | | | 35.0 | 123 | 11.9 | | | |
| Practice Score | 42 | | | 35.0 | 123 | 6.4 | Used | | |
| Practice Score | 43 | | | 37.0 | 128 | 5.3 | Used | | |
| Practice Score | 42 | | | 35.0 | 128 | 6.2 | Used | | |
| Practice Score | 43 | | | 37.0 | 128 | 5.3 | Used | | |
| Practice Score | 43 | | | 35.0 | 128 | 7.1 | | | |
| Practice Score | 46 | | | 37.0 | 128 | 7.9 | | | |
| Practice Score | 42 | | | 35.0 | 128 | 6.2 | Used | | |
| Practice Score | 52 | | | 37.0 | 128 | 13.2 | | | |
| Practice Score | 42 | | | 35.0 | 128 | 6.2 | Used | | |
| Practice Score | 48 | | | 37.0 | 128 | 9.7 | | | |
| Practice Score | 46 | | | 35.0 | 128 | 9.7 | | | |
| Practice Score | 41 | | | 35.0 | 128 | 5.3 | | | |
| Practice Score | 46 | | | 37.0 | 128 | 7.9 | | | |
| Practice Score | 44 | | | 35.0 | 128 | 7.9 | | | |
| Practice Score | 44 | | | 37.0 | 128 | 6.2 | | | |
| Practice Score | 52 | | | 35.0 | 128 | 15.0 | | | |
| Practice Score | 44 | | | 37.0 | 128 | 6.2 | | | |
| Practice Score | 43 | | | 35.0 | 128 | 7.1 | | | |
| Practice Score | 42 | | | 35.0 | 128 | 6.2 | | | |
| Practice Score | 44 | | | 37.0 | 128 | 6.2 | | | |
| Practice Score | 44 | | | 35.0 | 128 | 7.9 | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Only the last 10 scores are considered for handicapping. | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| | The equation for calculating a differential is ... | | | | | | | |
| | Diff = (Adjusted Gross Score - Rating) x (113 / Slope) | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| 3. Use the differentials to calculate a handicap. | | | | | | |
| Out of the 10 available calculated differentials the | | | | | | | |
| 4 highest differentials are discarded (not used). | | | | | | | |
| Differentials 'used' are added together... | | | | | | | |
| 6.4+5.3+6.2+5.3+6.2+6.2 = 35.6 | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Then divide by the total number used. | | | | | | | |
| Pre-Handicap = 35.6 / 6 | Pre-Handicap = 5.933 | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| John is a regular player, so according to the | | | | | | | |
| handicap setup the Handicap Percent is 90 | | | | | | | |
| Handicap = 5.933 x 90 | | Handicap = 5.34 (Digits after hundredth place are deleted) | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Convert the handicap to a 'course' handicap using the slope of the course being played. (The Links at Boynton - Back 9) |
| Handicap = Handicap x (Slope / 113) | | | | | | | |
| Handicap = 5.34 x (123 / 113) | | | | | | | | |
| Handicap = 5.81 | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Final Handicap = 5.81 | | | | | | | | |
