Wedgie Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 So my index sits at 9.3. My club course handicap is 11. If your club handicap is 0-9.9 you can't take more than a double bogey on any hole. If it is 10-19.9 you can't take more than a 7 on a hole. So where do I fall given my index is 9.3 but my course handicap is 11?

Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy If it is based on your club handicap then you would fall into the 10-19.9. You course handicap is what you would look at. Your regular handicap is an estimate on an average course. It is not the definitive number. The definitive number is you course handicap.

Its possible that you could be a 9 handicap if you played forward tees, and 11 from back tees, and have different ESC requirements on different days.

Kanoito Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Therefore it makes more sense to differentiate between handicap and index. At index 15 on my home course: Golden tees, 6500 yards, slope 131/CR 71,4 would allow me 16 strokes White tees , 6900 yards, slope 136/CR 73,5 would allow me 19 strokes Black tees, 7305 yards, slope 137/CR 75,5, would allow me 21 strokes And for some stupid reason, our club is making us play the championship from black... those are the same tees used in 2012 by Stenson, DJ, Bubba, Kaymer, Poulter, Olesen, Colin, Ogilvy, Jimenez and co... I'll be expecting shooting north of 120...

gaussman1 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 As the guys above have stated, it is on course handicap. That can change from different sets of tees and your maximum allowable score can as well Rogue SZ 10.5 *NEW* Fujikura Pro Green 65 X Rogue 15 degree Evnflow Blue 6.5 Back in the Bag Z765 4-G Nippon Modus 120 Stiff 54 and 60 Amazing Grace Ass Kicker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on an index of 15.0, and based on the slopes, you get: 131 17 136 18 137 18 Please double check me at: https://www.usga.org/course-handicap-calculator.html The numbers you've listed would make sense if players in a competition were playing off of different tees. The various handicaps from each tee are adjusted based on the difference in the Course Ratings. I'm not sure why they choose to lower the Golf Tee handicap, but the gaps between the handicaps are correct. If you leave the Gold Handicap at 17, you get 17, 20, and 22. Oops, and belatedly I see that you're in Germany, I'm not sure exactly how the European system works. What I posted above is based on USGA rules.
