Re: What is a Handicap and How do I Establish One?? (FAQ)

0

+20
+20
+20
+20
+20
+20
+20
+20
+20
+20

then their handicap would be 0 (obviously not a particularly realistic example I know). Then, their next 10 scores are all +20, would their handicap then be 20? Or is there a brake on how quickly it increases?
If your scores looked like that you run the risk of being jumped in the parking lot for "sandbagging"...
