				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		44			34.9	117	8.8	Used
	Practice Score		47			34.9	117	11.7	Used
	Practice Score		40			34.9	117	4.9	Used
	Practice Score		47			34.9	117	11.7	Used
	Practice Score		44			34.9	117	8.8	Used
	Practice Score		39			34.9	117	4.0	Used
	Practice Score		49			34.9	117	13.6	Used
	Practice Score		42			34.9	117	6.9	Used
	Practice Score		42			34.9	117	6.9	Used
	Practice Score		47			34.9	117	11.7	Used
	Practice Score		45			34.9	117	9.8	Used
	Practice Score		44			34.9	117	8.8	Used
	Practice Score		44			34.9	117	8.8	Used
	Practice Score		44			34.9	117	8.8	Used
	Practice Score		48			34.9	117	12.7	Used
	Practice Score		46			34.9	117	10.7	Used
	Practice Score		42			34.9	117	6.9	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
		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...
	8.8+11.7+4.9+11.7+8.8+4.0+13.6+6.9+6.9+11.7..etc.. = 176.5
	Then divide by the total number used.
	Pre-Handicap = 176.5 / 20			Pre-Handicap = 8.825
	Thom is a regular player, so according to the
	handicap setup the Handicap Percent is 80
	Handicap = 8.825 x 80			Handicap = 7.06 (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 = 7.06 x (117 / 113)
	Handicap = 7.31
	Final Handicap = 7.31
