Handicap allows for golfers of varying skills
to compete and still have a chance to win
Some people wonder
about the purpose , of
handicapping. " What is the
point'' i' remember 'reading
about Man O' War the great
race- 'horse who was
':(instantly made to carry
_heavier weights to make it a -
"horserace" and allow the
bettors to make .some mainey.
I also .-remember giving
• younger siblings a head start •
on a race 'around the
backyard, otherwise they
• wouldn't even try. Thegolf'
handicap system has evolved
for much the same reason. to.
allow players of varying skill
levels. to compete against
each other and have a chance,
to .tons.
' Computerized
handicapping is a great asset
at a golf club. Youngsters are
keen to enter their scores and
are familiar with the
technology Older players
like the ease of posting d
scores once they know the
routine. It sure heats the old

method of doing everything

to work,:every golfer must
enter every score -good or

scores must he honest

What thecomputcr wants
from' the golfer is the date of
the game: the •course the

course rating. the_ slope

.Although many golf courses

number that the' computer.
needs to ,determine .the
handicap index. •
'Prior to the inclusion of
the slope system. a course
was -rated for highly skilled
or ,zero, handicap players
only. This didn't always give
a'fair and accurate account of
ditfi.culty of a cotirse.
especially when (flayed by
the: average or begi.nninit
player. , f.
Now. courses are ''sloped"
;as wei1 as "rated:" ' This
means that -the rating- is
adjusted slightly when the
skirl level of theplayer is
taken into account. An
, average course rating could
he 69 which may be two Or
three under par. The average
:lope maybe around' 116.
The higher the rating' or
stupl, th,e more difficult the
course is. The Course; is also
rated and sloped trorn.the.
various tees .because it is
usyally, more difficult to
score well on a longer golf
course. The ratings are also '
established based on the•
gender of the player:: When
the golf :issociatidn rates and'
slopes a course they do it for
both men and women.
Finally the computer
needs to know the player's
adjusted score, for '.tht;
