Do you want to know
your handicap at different courses that you play.
All you need to know is (1) your handicap index and (2) the slope on any golf
course (the slope is on the scorecard).
When you go to the USGA site
below you do not need to log in or register to use the calculation table.
Click on this Conversion
Chart link and type in your personal handicap index on the first line
(this is a decimal number) or any decimal number if full table is checked.
and the slope for that course on the second line (not the rating & the rating
is always a decimal number).
Also click the box "Display Full Course Handicap Table".
Hit "Calculate" and and all handicaps will show up for this course.
By selecting "display full course handicap table" your friends playing with you will know their course handicap if they know their index.

On JANUARY 1, 2020,
the Equitable Stroke Control is no longer, we will be using the new World
Handicap System
which is "Net Double Bogey" which is a double bogey plus the dots
you get on that hole is the maximum you can take on that hole.
=======================================================================================================
YOUR STOKES PER HOLE
ARE NOW BASED ON "Net Double Bogey plus Strokes"
The very best way to post scores is to load the USGA GHIN app on your phone
and post your score hole by hole and
the reason to do this is that the app knows what your max is per hole and will
make adjustments for you.
THIS WAS THE OLD SYSTEM BELOW AND IT NO LONGER WORKS.
18 HOLE COURSE HANDICAP
MAXIMUM NUMBER ON ANY HOLE
This is the maximum strokes you can take on any hole directly related to your
handicap.
