Answer key: Course Handicap worksheet

1. Course Handicap: 22
1. For 9 holes, use half your Handicap Index, rounded to the nearest tenth, since you play half a round
  $\frac{14}{2}$ $= 7$ $= 7$
2. Scale your index to how hard these tees are (Slope Rating ÷ 113), then add the gap between the Course Rating and par
  $7 \times (\frac{130}{113}) + (42 - 28)$ $= 22.0531$
3. Round to the nearest whole number (.5 rounds up) for the Course Handicap
  $Course Handicap$ $= 22$
4. Apply the 85% allowance for this format to the unrounded Course Handicap, so you round only once
  $22.0531 \times 0.85$ $= 18.7451$
5. Round to the nearest whole number for the Playing Handicap
  $Playing Handicap$ $= 19$
2. Course Handicap: 31
1. Scale your index to how hard these tees are (Slope Rating ÷ 113), then add the gap between the Course Rating and par

2. Round to the nearest whole number (.5 rounds up) for the Course Handicap
  $Course Handicap$ $= 31$
3. Apply the 95% allowance for this format to the unrounded Course Handicap, so you round only once

2. Round to the nearest whole number (.5 rounds up) for the Course Handicap
  $Course Handicap$ $= 25$
3. Apply the 68% allowance for this format to the unrounded Course Handicap, so you round only once

4. Round to the nearest whole number for the Playing Handicap
  $Playing Handicap$ $= 17$
4. Course Handicap: 20
1. Scale your index to how hard these tees are (Slope Rating ÷ 113), then add the gap between the Course Rating and par

2. Round to the nearest whole number (.5 rounds up) for the Course Handicap
  $Course Handicap$ $= 20$
3. Apply the 65% allowance for this format to the unrounded Course Handicap, so you round only once
  $20.4425 \times 0.65$ $= 13.2876$
4. Round to the nearest whole number for the Playing Handicap
  $Playing Handicap$ $= 13$
5. Course Handicap: 7
1. For 9 holes, use half your Handicap Index, rounded to the nearest tenth, since you play half a round
  $\frac{12.5}{2}$ $= 6.25$ $= 6.3$
2. Scale your index to how hard these tees are (Slope Rating ÷ 113), then add the gap between the Course Rating and par
  $6.3 \times (\frac{150}{113}) + (30.5 - 32)$ $= 6.8628$
3. Round to the nearest whole number (.5 rounds up) for the Course Handicap
  $Course Handicap$ $= 7$
4. Apply the 85% allowance for this format to the unrounded Course Handicap, so you round only once
  $6.8628 \times 0.85$ $= 5.8334$
5. Round to the nearest whole number for the Playing Handicap
  $Playing Handicap$ $= 6$
6. Course Handicap: 49
