Your handicap is a statistical measure of how you might play on a good day. Note that it is not your "average score." Your handicap is calculated using a pretty complex formula, which we take care of for you. You can use your handicap to measure your improvement, to compare your performance to your peers, and to set up evenly matched competitions between you and other golfers. |

A full article is located in this article located in the Proper Golfer section of the Knowledge Center. The short answer is that you first need to calculate your course handicap. On MyScorecard you can do this on the Course Handicap page. Then, you compare your course handicap to fellow golfers, giving the difference in strokes to the higher handicap golfers (Thus a 10 handicap gives a 15 handicap 5 strokes). You would do so on the hardest holes marked by the "Handicap" row on the scorecard (In the example above, it would be a stroke on the 5 hardest holes). This should create an even match between the players. |
Getting Up and Running
|
The first thing you should do is play a round and enter a score. Once you have 5 scores to enter, you can see your handicap. Your handicap will start out a bit low, but will rise as you enter more scores. Then you can see your course handicap by clicking on your handicap number. You can see if any clubs are in your area that you can join. You can even form your own clubs and invite friends. Over time you can look at your statistics in your performance report.

If you still have access to your scores, we can help you import them in to MyScorecard. Just send us an email. Because a handicap is calculated off of your previous scores, and because it is dependent upon the order of those scores as well as the variation between them, we need to have your score history to properly compute a handicap - we can't just import a number. You are welcome to enter your previous scores directly into your Scorecard, or contact us for help in importing your previous scores. |
| Yes, you can import previous scores into your Scorecard. Simply enter them with the correct date. Your handicap becomes more accurate after 20 scores, so the more you can enter at the beginning, the more accurate your handicap will be. |
