Handicap Information
Check your handicap Ghin.Com
The handicap you reference is updated at the beginning of each month,
so the information you see will only be through the end of the previous
month.
Handicap stickers are available at the beginning of each month. Stickers will only be available for pick
up at the monthly events. If you don't attend monthly events, you're not getting your sticker. You can always go to the ghin.com website to view your handicap and most recent scores.
You will begin to establish a handicap once you have posted 5 scores. At that point
your handicap will be based upon the formula below and will only take into account your lowest
1 score of the 5 you have posted. After you have posted 20 scores, your handicap will be
based upon the 10 lowest of your most recent 20 scores. As you continue to post scores, your oldest scores will then drop off.

Or read my summary below:
(Adjusted Gross Score - Course Rating)x113
Course Slope
i.e. I shoot an 80 on a course with a rating of 71.5 and a slope of 130.
(80-71.5)x113=7.39
130
You then, will take the total of each individual differential that you have calculated for your 10 lowest rounds, divide it by 10, and multiply it by .96.
Your result will be the handicap that you receive each month.
