The formula to calculate Course Handicap is:
\[ \text{Course Handicap} = (\text{Handicap Index} \times \frac{\text{Slope Rating}}{113}) + (\text{Course Rating} - \text{Course Par}) \]
Where:
The Course Handicap is a measure of a golfer's potential ability on a specific course.
Handicap Index is a standardized measure of a golfer's potential ability on a course of standard playing difficulty.
Course Rating is the evaluation of the playing difficulty of a course for a scratch golfer under normal course and weather conditions.
Slope Rating is the evaluation of the relative playing difficulty of a course for a bogey golfer compared to a scratch golfer.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ \text{Course Handicap} = (10 \times \frac{121}{113}) + (70 - 72) \]
Evaluating:
The Course Handicap is 9.71.
| Handicap Index | Course Rating | Slope Rating | Course Par | Course Handicap |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | 70 | 121 | 72 | 8.71 |
| 15 | 72 | 130 | 70 | 19.26 |
| 20 | 68 | 115 | 71 | 17.35 |
| 18 | 69 | 118 | 70 | 17.80 |
| 19 | 62 | 118 | 73 | 8.84 |
