What is a Golf Handicap?
The golf handicap system is a measurement of the game, plus a help for the player, is leveling function wisely 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, leveling the players, and gives each player extra strokes (depending on your 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 performed for a certain number of rounds completed.
There are people in the golf clubs that are authorized to issue handicap (provisional) for golfers interested in obtaining it, in most cases, this handicap is 25, but may be shorter, if necessary for those who grants. To complete the process, the player must submit 8 cards signed by a player with handicap National Golf Association of his country. These 8 cards must 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 265 between the total sum of the best differential their handicap will be 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 hits, 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 8 best player, when you enter a new card with a low differential, leaving the old differential higher.
Then the Association of Golf for getting up the real handicap golfer, and you will be awarded the national handicap. The national handicap is very helpful to have it, since it is often necessary condition to play in tournaments or golf courses. The national handicap has an annual cost money, which must pay 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 round of golf, etc.. In general the questions are basic, and if one wants to get involved, have fun, and knows the basic rules of golf, there would be no reason for that he was denied the processing of the handicap, but unfortunately we know that in many cases it is not, there ridiculous anecdotes as players who denied the handicap of not knowing the diameter of the golf, being "good" players, and other more embarrassing as the handicap to deny young people, is a big mistake scare the smaller sports.
In addition to the handicap for players, there is the handicap of each hole, which measures the difficulty of the golf hole. The difficulty of a golf hole served from reference players to provide a basis for hits in a match play, so it is of multiple purpose. The difficulty or handicap of a hole is measured based on their length, location of the land, climatic conditions, soil conditions, etc.. It is for this reason that many times at the outputs of the holes, we see a sign saying, "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 handicap differential in, so you can know how far or close you are to raise or lower your handicap.

I wanted to know how to calculate the difference when you have no more than 8 cards. I have now 6 cards with the following differential: 18, 32.4, 31, 41, 34.4 and 26. He tells me the page of the AAG that my sum of the 8 best differential is 176 (I think it was 4 × 18 + 4 x 26, which had an asterisk next to, but not ...)
Thank you very much
Hi 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 submitted, or is calculated based on 8 differential, there is less possibility of calculating differentials, because that is not its purpose.
When you check your handicap you in Argentina Golf Association (AAG), you are looking at the sum of the 6 differential that you got so far, the calculation is: Result GROSS - Pair of Tennis (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 strokes minus handicap, 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 at every turn you subtract 72 and the result will be the difference that the player has at the back.
For example, if the player makes a return of 100 strokes in 18 holes, the 100 is subtracted 72, and the spread of this return is 28.
The handicap is calculated based on the best 8 differential that the present registered handicap player with 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 the respective range.
I hope to serve you the answer, Greetings.
My difference is 273 i I Submit only 7 CARDS for 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 differential reflects your real handicap, 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. The page to favorites ...
I have made clear that the 8 best player spreads up the handicup.
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 you filed for a long time, years I can assure you.
2) With respect to how the system up and spreads downward. It works like this:
The next card will get you to give older card from your differential, high or low. Out the older card, dated farther. From this it will make the calculation of your best 8 differential again, reflect your actual handicap, hence the importance of always delivering the cards in tournament mode, play a real handicap and golf more fun.

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