Handicap Example from a League Member

1. Handicap Setup for this League is as follows...
	Handicap Regulars: 90 Subs: 90
	Number of scores handicap based on: 5
	Minimum number of scores needed before a handicap can be calculated: 1
	# of Scores	Discard	Discard
	Available	Highest	Lowest
	1	0	0
	2	1	0
	3	1	0
	4	2	0
	5	2	0	<<Roger has 20 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		37			34.4	128	2.3	Used
	Practice Score		38			34.4	128	3.2	Used
	Practice Score		39			34.4	128	4.1	Used
	Practice Score		39			34.4	128	4.1
	Practice Score		39			34.4	128	4.1
	Practice Score		37			34.4	128	2.3
	Practice Score		37			34.4	128	2.3
	Practice Score		37			34.4	128	2.3
	Practice Score		36			34.4	128	1.4
	Practice Score		38			34.4	128	3.2
	Practice Score		36			34.4	128	1.4
	Practice Score		39			34.4	128	4.1
	Practice Score		42			34.4	128	6.7
	Practice Score		42			34.4	128	6.7
	Practice Score		42			34.4	128	6.7
	Practice Score		39			34.4	128	4.1
	Practice Score		39			34.4	128	4.1
	Practice Score		40			34.4	128	4.9
	Practice Score		39			34.4	128	4.1
	Practice Score		41			34.4	128	5.8
	Only the last 5 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 5 available calculated differentials the
	2 highest differentials are discarded (not used).
	Differentials 'used' are added together...
	2.3+3.2+4.1 = 9.6
	Then divide by the total number used.
	Pre-Handicap = 9.6 / 3			Pre-Handicap = 3.200
	Roger is a regular player, so according to the
	handicap setup the Handicap Percent is 90
	Handicap = 3.200 x 90			Handicap = 2.88 (Digits after hundredth place are deleted)
	Convert the handicap to a 'course' handicap using the slope of the course being played. (Furnace Bay Back)
	Handicap = Handicap x (Slope / 113)
	Handicap = 2.88 x (128 / 113)
	Handicap = 3.26
	Final Handicap = 3.26
