Best Ball Handicap Analysis Example:

 


The initial index is 16.9. The index is unaffacted by the maximum index setting.
This player is on the Ladies Red Tees tee, the rating is 68.9 and the slope is 124.
We calculate the course handicap as index * slope / 113 = 16.9 * 124 / 113 = 18.54. After rounding, it is equal to 19.
The player handicap is unaffected by the maximum handicap setting.
The course handicap is applied proportionally to the number of holes played in the 9-hole competition: 19.0 * (9 / 18) = 9.5. Then it is rounded to nearest whole number: 10.
