6 Steps to Calculating Your Golf Handicap
6 Simple Steps
Take the scores from the last five rounds (18 holes each) that you played.
Step2
Look up the rating and slope for the course that you played for each of these scores. This information is usually printed on the scorecard, although you can also get the rating and slope by calling the course.
Step3
Subtract the course rating from the score you earned on that course.
Step4
Multiply that number by 113.
Step5
Divide that number by the slope of the course. This number is the differential.
Step6
Take the lowest of your five differentials and multiply it by 0.96, and you have your handicap.

- If you are trying to calculate a golf handicap, this is a good start, but it is a little more detailed than this. There is a great website online, www.golfhandicapguide.com, that gives the formula in a little more detail.
