Calcolatore Handicap Golf — Formula

How Golf Handicap Is Calculated

Formula

Score Differential = (Score - Course Rating) x 113 / Slope Rating

Handicap Index = Average of Best Differentials x 0.96

The official USGA system uses the best 8 of 20 most recent differentials. This simplified calculator uses 3 rounds to give an estimate.

What Slope and Course Rating Mean

  • Course Rating: The expected score for a scratch (0-handicap) golfer. Typically 68-74.
  • Slope Rating: Measures difficulty for bogey golfers relative to scratch golfers. Range is 55-155, with 113 being standard.

    Calculate handicap from scores of 92, 88, and 95 on a course rated 72/125.

    1. Differential 1 = (92 - 72) x 113/125 = 20 x 0.904 = 18.08.
    2. Differential 2 = (88 - 72) x 113/125 = 16 x 0.904 = 14.46.
    3. Differential 3 = (95 - 72) x 113/125 = 23 x 0.904 = 20.79.
    4. Average = (18.08 + 14.46 + 20.79) / 3 = 17.78.
    5. Handicap Index = 17.78 x 0.96 = 17.1.
