📊 My Handicap Tracker
Casual handicap calculated using the World Handicap System formula (not USGA-certified — informal use only)
📐 How Your Handicap Is Calculated
1
For each round, we calculate your Score Differential:
( Score − Course Rating ) × 113 ÷ Slope Rating
2
We take your best differentials from your last 20 rounds (8 of 20, scaling down if you have fewer rounds).
3
Average those best differentials × 0.96 = your Handicap Index, rounded to one decimal.
⚠️ Casual / Informal only — not an official USGA handicap. For official play, contact your state golf association or a GHIN-registered club.
