What is a golf handicap?
Handicaps are the way in which golf levels a competition between players of different abilities. It is based on a players prior scores, what course those scores were on, and what tees they played at that course that day. The main difference between our indoor golf handicap and the traditional outdoor golf handicap is that we have taken into account the gimmie distance that was used for that round.
Handicap Formula
ONLY SCORES PLAYED in 9 or 18 hole ONLINE EVENTS ARE COUNTED for aG Simulator build 1772 and later.
Only the lowest score in the event is counted (for an event where a player is allowed to play more than 1 time, only their best score from all the rounds they played will be counted towards their handicap.)
Formula
((113 / Slope Rating) x (Adjusted Gross Score – Course Rating)) + adjustments = adjusted Differential
