What is a Golf Handicap?
The golf handicap is a system of measurement in the game, plus a help for the player, is wisely Levels feature different levels of play between players and more.
With the handicap system, the game of golf can be practiced by people of different ages. The handicap in golf, the players levels, and gives each player hits extras (according to their level of play) to play through the court. The level of play of each player is measured through the handicap, which is determined by a scoring average that the player performs during a certain number of rounds completed.
There are people in the golf clubs that are empowered to grant handicap (provisional) for golfers interested in obtaining, in most cases, this handicap is 25, but may be lower if necessary for those who granted. To complete the process, the player must submit 8 cards signed by another player with handicap National Golf Association of his country. These 8 cards should be at least 8 rounds of 18 holes. From there it will calculate the actual handicap player based on the following differentials:
* Differential / Handicap
-23.6 / -23.6 + 3
-23.5 / -14.1 + 2
-14.0 / -4.7 + 1
-4,6 / 4,6 0
4,7 / 14,0 1
14.1 / 23.4 2
23.5 / 32.8 3
32.9 / 42.3 4
42,4 / 51,7 5
51.8 / 61.1 6
61.2 / 70.5 7
70.6 / 79.9 8
80.0 / 89.3 9
89.4 / 98.7 10
98.8 / 108.1 11
108.2 / 117.6 12
117.7 / 127.0 13
127.1 / 136.4 14
136.5 / 145.8 15
145.9 / 155.2 16
155.3 / 164.6 17
164.7 / 174.0 18
174.1 / 183.4 19
183.5 / 192.8 20
192.9 / 202.3 21
202.4 / 211.7 22
211.8 / 221.1 23
221.2 / 230.5 24
230.6 / 239.9 25
240.0 / 249.3 26
249.4 / 258.7 27
258.8 / 268.1 28
268.2 / 277.6 29
277.7 / 287.0 30
287.1 / 296.4 31
296.5 / 305.8 32
305.9 / 315.2 33
315.3 / 324.6 34
324.7 / 334.0 35
> 36 to 334.1
Therefore, if the player adds the sum 265 of the best handicap differentials his will, 28. This is the way to calculate the handicap. This is the "help" with golfers, no matter their level.
I'll explain again in a more clear: The handicap of most golf courses is 72, so if you make the pitch in 100 hit the gap to the pair of the field is 28, if you the court makes 8 times in 100 strokes, the sum of the 8 differential is going to 224 and you will have a handicap of 24.
The handicap is calculated based on the differential top 8 player, when you enter a new card with a low differential, differential out old higher.
Then the corresponding Golf Association take out the real handicap golfer, and will be awarded the national handicap. The handicap is very helpful to have national, as is often necessary condition to play in tournaments or golf courses. The national handicap has an annual cost money, to be paid by each player.
To obtain a handicap there are other formalities, such as an interview before the golfer questions about the rules of golf, an invitation to the player to play a few holes of golf, and so on. In general the questions are basic, and if one wants to get involved, have fun, and knows the basic rules of golf, there is no reason to be processed will be denied the handicap, but unfortunately we know that in many cases it is not, there ridiculous anecdotes as players handicap was denied for not knowing the diameter of the golf hole, being "good" players, and other more embarrassing as the handicap to deny young people, is a big mistake to frighten children in sport.
In addition to the handicap for players, there is a handicap for each hole, which measures the difficulty of the golf hole. The difficulty of a golf hole served from reference players to give up base hits in a match play, so is multi purpose. The difficulty or handicap of a hole is measured based on their length, location of ground, weather conditions, soil conditions, etc.. It is for this reason that many times in the outputs of the holes, we see a sign that reads, "Hole 5, HCP 17", the "HCP" is the handicap hole.
It is advisable to keep track of your score, and go as they are checking their spreads in the handicap, so you can know that is near or far to raise or lower your handicap.

I wanted to know how to calculate the difference when you have no more than 8 cards. Today I have 6 cards with the following differential: 18, 32.4, 31, 41, 34.4 and 26. He says the website of the AAG that my sum of the 8 best differential is 176 (I think it was 4 × 18 + 4 × 26, which had an asterisk next to, but not ...)
Thank you very much
Hello Diego, I'm GolfPar4.com Manager and I will answer your question.
The spread of an IF and ONLY IF player is calculated when there are 8 cards presented, or is calculated based on 8 differential, there is less possibility of calculating differentials, because this is not its purpose.
When you check your handicap in Argentina Golf Association (AAG), you are looking at the sum of the differential 6 you got so far, the calculation is: Result GROSS - Par of the Course (72). The sum of the differentials of these 6 cards gives 176, or an average of 29 handicap so far. But keep in mind that the system is designed for when there are 8 differential, there you will have your real handicap.
The result is a return Gross all the handicap strokes less, the net result is obtained by subtracting your handicap.
I hope that answers your question, but ask again.
I hope you enjoy GolfPar4.com

Hello, I wanted to know the mind that are to calculate for example 28 handicap, thank you very much.
Hello Daniel, how are you? GolfPar4.com Manager and I'll answer your question.
A handicap of 28 is determined based on the result of 8 rounds of 18 holes made by the player. Most courts are PAR 72, so each turn you subtract 72 and the result will be the difference that the player has for that round.
For example, if the player makes a return of 100 strokes in 18 holes, the 100 shall be reduced by 72, and this return differential is 28.
The handicap is calculated based on the best 8 differential handicap player enrolled submit to the relevant Golf Association. The sum of these 8 differential is contrasted with the table of differential GolfPar4.com note. In this case 28 X 8 = 224, if I go to the table of differential would be in the range: 221.2 / 230.5 24. Therefore, this player would have a 24 handicap. In the case of 28, would have to see what is the respective range.
I hope to serve you the answer, Greetings.
My difference is 273 i I will give only 7 Card shot, this differential would have q have handicup 29, but I have 25 porq?
Renzo Hi, GolfPar4 manager and I will answer your question, first of all, please leave a comment, hope you like the page. The point of your question is that having 7 cards you got a handicap only temporary (provisional), as well as the note says, the handicap itself if you take based on 8 differential, so you'll have to wait to make a card more for your handicap differential reflects your real, but what you see is not calculated to make sense.
A greeting.
Ah, thanks hey, if I enter as 4 in this me, ehh this good answer to this q toqe you questions. Bookmark the pag ...
I have made clear that the top 8 make up the differential handicup player.
1) I want to know how long they can be in place those 8 cards.
I have 16 cards presented and some of the top 8 are in October 2008.
2) I understand that if you enter a low card, replaces one of the top 8 spreads far. This is so. But it works for you to climb the handicup?
Thank you. Regards
Luis, I proceed to reply:
1) The cards are valid for you filed a long time, years I can assure you.
2) With respect to how the system of the rise and fall of the differentials. It works like this:
The next card will give older card out of your differential, high or low. Card comes oldest, most distant date. From this it will make the calculation of your best 8 differential again, reflect your real handicap, hence the importance of always delivering the cards in tournament mode, play a real handicap and golf more fun.

Hello Marcelo, how are you? Spreads with decimals in the table are determined handicap differentials, and is armed with decimal inclusive. For each differential (which is an average fraction, corresponds to a certain handicap).
