Reply To: New handicapping system – Scott?

[Scott T. – World Am]

Round 1, Litchfield
This player is on the Gold – Men tee, the slope is 124, the rating is 68.8 and the par is 72.
We calculate the Course Handicap as index * slope / 113 = 7.5 * 124 / 113 = 8.230…. We apply a CR – P adjustment of 68.8 – 72 = -3.2. The resulting Course Handicap is 5.030….
After rounding, the Playing Handicap is 5.

Round 2, Wizard
This player is on the Senior – Men tee, the slope is 115, the rating is 66.3 and the par is 71.
We calculate the Course Handicap as index * slope / 113 = 7.5 * 115 / 113 = 7.632…. We apply a CR – P adjustment of 66.3 – 71 = -4.7. The resulting Course Handicap is 2.932….
After rounding, the Playing Handicap is 3.

Round 3 is not set up due to repair but will be same calculation.

The simple answer is with new system, shooting net par is playing to your handicap. The old way, shooting net course rating was playing to your handicap.
