Course Handicap
A "Course Handicap" is the number of handicap strokes a player receives from a specific set of tees at the course being played to adjust his scoring ability to the difficulty of the golf course. The adjustment is based on the Slope Rating for the course and set of tees being played and, depending on which handicap calculation option you select, may also incorporate the course rating and par.
If you are using the Traditional or Score Average handicap calculation method, the Course Handicap is determined by multiplying a player's Handicap Index by the Slope Rating of the course played and then dividing by 113. The resulting figure is rounded off to the nearest whole number (.5 or more is rounded upward).
If you are using the Global or Custom handicap calculation method, you have an option to use the course rating in the course handicap. If you select this option, the Course Handicap is determined by multiplying a player's Handicap Index by the Slope Rating of the course played and then dividing by 113. Then you subtract par from the course rating and add that amount to the previous result. The resulting figure is rounded off to the nearest whole number (.5 or more is rounded upward).
