Handicap questions

How is a handicap index worked out?

Under the World Handicap System your handicap index is the average of the best 8 score differentials from your most recent 20 rounds. A score differential is (113 ÷ slope rating) × (adjusted gross score − course rating − any playing conditions adjustment).

What is the difference between a handicap index and a course handicap?

Your handicap index travels with you. Your course handicap is how many shots that index is worth on a particular course and set of tees, using that tee’s slope rating and course rating.
