MEMBER HANDICAP INDEX (H.I.)

The latest Members' Handicap Indices from the World Handicap System

WORLD HANDICAP SYSTEM

Player's Handicap Index now follows the new World Handicap System.  This allow players to play on courses around the world using their handicap index and play with people from other countries using the same handicap system

POSTING YOUR SCORES
Post your scores as usual at the course or through the Internet (use My NCGA app or the NCGA.com website).  The maximum hole score for handicap purposes (for posting your score) will be limited to Net Double Bogey (Par + 2 + any handicap strokes you receive on that hole)

YOUR HANDICAP INDEX
1.   The Handicap Index (H.I.) calculation will be based off your 8 best scores out of the past 20

2.  Your Handicap Index (H.I.) will be updated the day after you post a score (Daily if you play every day)

YOUR PLAYING HANDICAP
You will have a Playing Handicap.  The Slope Rating, Course Rating and Par will be used to determine your Playing Handicap, allowing players to compete from different tees more easily
