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 / 6Pre-Handicap = 5.933
John is a regular player, so according to the
handicap setup the Handicap Percent is 90
Handicap = 5.933 x 90Handicap = 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
