How much will my golf handicap come down by if shoot one round that’s 6 shots under my handicap of 18?
I’ve pretty much been playing to my handicap apart from this. I want it to come down as much as possible but not sure how the calculation is done.
If your handicap is a genuine 18 given to you by your own club then you are in category 3 ….. (1 is scratch – 5; 2 is 6 -12; 3 is 13 – 20; 4 is 21 – 28). This means for every shot under the “Standard Scratch” score on the day you will be cut 0.3.
The SS can be different from the par for your course. This is usually due to weather conditions on the day, or average score if it is a competition.
So if the SS was the same as par, then for 6 under you will be cut 6 X 0.3 which is 1.8. If your handicap is dead on 18 it will reduce to 16.2.
However if your handicap was, say, 18.3 you will go down to 16.5 – which is rounded up to 17 for playing purpose. Complicated or what !!!
