Golf Utilizing The Handicap System Balances out Scoring For Friendly Golfers

by Patricia B Moses

In order to make golfing a reasonable game between everyone, the handicap system was developed. It is based on the 10 lowest scores of the last twenty rounds on a 18 hole course in a solitary season. Now this is not a hard and fast set guideline since some golf associations or courses urge less rounds to be played in order to determine a golfers handicap. The following is a brief guide how the golf handicap program works.

Handicap numbers are generally recorded for golfers between the number one and thirty six. A golfer with a scratch handicap or what may be termed a scratch golfer would have a handicap of zero which implies that he or she would average out to playing par on a course. If par is 72 on a provided golf course, the scratch golfer would average shooting 72 on that course.

Now lets take a look at how these numbers work on the golf course. Lets take 2 different golfers. One has a handicap of ten, while the other golfer has a 20 handicap. The distinction between the two players is 10 strokes. As a result, to even the match, the golfer with the lesser handicap, which in this instance is the ten handicap golfer, needs to give ten shots to his challenger on eighteen holes, to make the golf match even.

Typically on a lot of, if not all golf scorecards, you will see what appears like random numbers 1 through 18 near the bottom of the scorecard beside Men's HCP (handicap) and Ladies HCP. Number 1 is expected to be the hardest playing golf hole and all the way to number 18 being the simplest hole. The greens keeper, management, or architect working at the golf course, determines how these holes rank in handicap through a number of reasons, including yardage, slope rating, and other difficulty aspects of each hole.

Now that we've figured out exactly how many handicap strokes are to be given out, where should those strokes be taken? The higher handicap golfer in this case, which is the 20 handicap golfer, gets 10 strokes for 18 holes starting with the a solitary stroke for each hole that has a handicap rating of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. This ought to make the golf match theoretically even, if both golfers play to their normal score.

Just like as in bowling, tracking your handicap and making use of the handicap system, helps to produce competitive and reasonable play when matched against other golfers who additionally make use of the same handicap system.

Examine with your neighborhood golf pro or golf organization on an official guide for their golf handicap system and for preserving a genuine handicap. If you desire to keep your handicap in an unofficial way, check a few of the golf handicap software programs or an App that can be found on the net.
