To figure your handicap for that round, the formula would be: (86 - 73.7) x 113 / 128.

So that goes like this: (86 - 73.7) = 12.3 Then 12.3 x 113 = 1,389.9 Then 1,389.9 / 128 = 10.858 This is your Handicap Differential which is rounded to the nearest tenth making it 10.8.

You need a minimum of Five rounds and a maximum of Twenty to figure your handicap.

Don't forget the .96 multiplier to be applied to the differential average...
