| 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 | <<Ellwood has 21 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 | 85 | | | 66.8 | 121 | 17.0 | | | |
| Practice Score | 81 | | | 66.8 | 121 | 13.3 | Used | | |
| Practice Score | 80 | | | 66.8 | 121 | 12.3 | Used | | |
| Practice Score | 77 | | | 66.8 | 121 | 9.5 | Used | | |
| Practice Score | 88 | | | 66.8 | 121 | 19.8 | | | |
| Practice Score | 81 | | | 66.8 | 121 | 13.3 | | | |
| Practice Score | 78 | | | 66.8 | 121 | 10.5 | | | |
| Practice Score | 82 | | | 66.8 | 121 | 14.2 | | | |
| Practice Score | 77 | | | 66.8 | 121 | 9.5 | | | |
| Practice Score | 91 | | | 66.8 | 121 | 22.6 | | | |
| Practice Score | 83 | | | 66.8 | 121 | 15.1 | | | |
| Practice Score | 78 | | | 66.8 | 121 | 10.5 | | | |
| Practice Score | 84 | | | 66.8 | 121 | 16.1 | | | |
| Practice Score | 91 | | | 66.8 | 121 | 22.6 | | | |
| Practice Score | 75 | | | 66.8 | 121 | 7.7 | | | |
| Practice Score | 86 | | | 66.8 | 121 | 17.9 | | | |
| Practice Score | 87 | | | 66.8 | 121 | 18.9 | | | |
| Practice Score | 81 | | | 66.8 | 121 | 13.3 | | | |
| Practice Score | 81 | | | 66.8 | 121 | 13.3 | | | |
| Practice Score | 84 | | | 66.8 | 121 | 16.1 | | | |
| Practice Score | 90 | | | 66.8 | 121 | 21.7 | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| 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... | | | | | | | |
| 13.3+12.3+9.5 = 35.1 | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Then divide by the total number used. | | | | | | | |
| Pre-Handicap = 35.1 / 3 | Pre-Handicap = 11.700 | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Ellwood is a regular player, so according to the | | | | | | | |
| handicap setup the Handicap Percent is 90 | | | | | | | |
| Handicap = 11.700 x 90 | Handicap = 10.53 (Digits after hundredth place are deleted) | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Convert the handicap to a 'course' handicap using the slope of the course being played. (Furnace Bay 18) | |
| Handicap = Handicap x (Slope / 113) | | | | | | | |
| Handicap = 10.53 x (121 / 113) | | | | | | | | |
| Handicap = 11.27 | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Final Handicap = 11.27 | | | | | | | | |
