USGA HAND ICAP FO RMULA Section

• a rocedure

The following

procedure

must

be

used

as

an alternate calculation of a

Handicap

Index for players with two or more eligible tournament scores.

A

players Handicap

Index

may be re

duced

under t

hisprocedure

when a player has a minimum of

two

eligible tournament score Handicap Differentials that are at least3.0 better than the

player's Handicap Index calculated under Section 10-2.

The

andicap

Committee or handicap

computation se

rvice must

apply

the

following steps to determine

if

there isa reduction

in

andicapIndex calculated

under Section 10-2.

• b. Steps

Example: Aplayer with a Handicop Index of

17.3

has three eligible tournament

scores

an

8 l83 l and 8ST.

Two of these eligible

tournament scor

es

an 82Tand

831, produce the lowest tournament scare Hand icap Differentials. They were made

on a course with a USGA Course Rating

of70.6

and a Slope Ratingaf130.

Step 1: Calculate taurnament score handicap differentials by subtracting

the USGA Caurse Rating from each eligible tournament score;

multiply

the

result by 113, and divide by the Slope Rating for each

course played. Select the two lowest eligible tournament score

andicap Differentials .

82T - (82- 70.6) x 3 / 130 = 9.9

83T - (

83-70

.6)x

3

/1 3 0

=

10.8

8ST -

85-706)

xm / 130= 12.5

Step 2: . Subtract the second lowest tournament score handicap

differential from the Handicop Index under Section 10-2.

Continue with the next step if the result is 3 0 or greater.
