ESTABLISH YOUR HANDICAP INDEX
A Handicap Index provides every golfer – regardless of age, gender or skill level – with a universal measure of playing ability under the World Handicap System™.
A Handicap Index allows you to:
Play with any golfer on a fair and equitable basis.
Track your personal progress and gain insights into your game.
Compete in events requiring a Handicap Index, creating additional playing opportunities.
See updates to your Handicap Index by posting scores from any course around the world with a Course Rating™ and Slope Rating™.
Before playing you can use your Handicap Index to determine your Target Score, which is a score you are reasonably capable of achieving, to help choose the best set of tees to play.
