The Handicap Rant, Apologies to “A Few Good Men”

Originally posted June 17, 2011 

Son, we live in a world that has handicaps, and those Handicaps have to be guarded by men with computers.
Who’s gonna do it? You? You, Unold?
I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom.
You weep for your Handicap and you curse the secretary.
You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that Handicaps, while tragic, probably are accurate.
And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, keeps impeccable stats. You don’t want the truth because, deep down in places you don’t talk about at parties, you want me to do the math, you need me to do the math. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending the game of golf.
You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very handicap that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said “thank you” and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a pencil and keep the scores yourself.
Either way, I don’t give a damn what you think you are entitled to.

Handicap Calculation

1. Handicap Setup for this League is as follows...
	Handicap Regulars: 80 Subs: 80
	Number of scores handicap based on: 10
	Minimum number of scores needed before a handicap can be calculated: 1
	# of Scores	Discard	Discard
	Available	Highest	Lowest
	1	0	0
	2	0	0
	3	0	0
	4	0	0
	5	0	0
	6	0	0
	7	0	0
	8	0	0
	9	0	0
	10	0	0	<<Player has 20 scores prior to event #2
				so the underlined parameters are used to determine
				which scores to use for handicapping.
2. The differentials for these scores are calculated...
			Adjusted			Course	Course
	Date	Event #	Grs Scr	Course Played	Tee	Rating	Slope	Differential	Used
	Practice Score		43			36.0	113	7.0	Used
	Practice Score		39			35.0	113	4.0	Used
	Practice Score		46			36.0	113	10.0	Used
	Practice Score		40			35.0	113	5.0	Used
	Practice Score		42			36.0	113	6.0	Used
	Practice Score		41			35.0	113	6.0	Used
	Practice Score		40			36.0	113	4.0	Used
	Practice Score		41			35.0	113	6.0	Used
	Practice Score		44			36.0	113	8.0	Used
	Practice Score		39			35.0	113	4.0	Used
	Practice Score		47			36.0	113	11.0
	Practice Score		43			36.0	113	7.0
	Practice Score		50			35.0	113	15.0
	Practice Score		40			35.0	113	5.0
	Practice Score		43			36.0	113	7.0
	Practice Score		40			35.0	113	5.0
	Practice Score		39			36.0	113	3.0
	Practice Score		42			35.0	113	7.0
	Practice Score		43			36.0	113	7.0
	Practice Score		36			35.0	113	1.0
	Only the last 10 scores are considered for handicapping.
		The equation for calculating a differential is ...
		Diff = (Adjusted Gross Score - Rating) x (113 / Slope)
3. Use the differentials to calculate a handicap.
	Differentials 'used' are added together...
	7.0+4.0+10.0+5.0+6.0+6.0+4.0+6.0+8.0+4.0..etc.. = 60.0
	Then divide by the total number used.
	Pre-Handicap = 60.0 / 10			Pre-Handicap = 6.000
	Thom is a regular player, so according to the
	handicap setup the Handicap Percent is 80
	Handicap = 6.000 x 80			Handicap = 4.80 (Digits after hundredth place are deleted)
	Convert the handicap to a 'course' handicap using the slope of the course being played. (Prairies Front)
	Handicap = Handicap x (Slope / 113)
	Handicap = 4.80 x (117 / 113)
	Handicap = 4.97
	Final Handicap = 4.97
