What is a Handicap? • A Handicap is an indication of a player's ability. • A specific formula is used to compute Handicaps by factoring in a player's score and the difficulty of the course played. EWGA Fox Cities/Green Bay Chapter -- GN21 Handicap Training Seminar
Why would I want a Handicap? • A Handicap allows players of different ability levels to compete with each other. • Using Handicaps helps to even the playing field, making the game more fun. • A Handicap also travels with you. • If you play a course that is more difficult than your home course, your Handicap will be higher. On an easier course, your Handicap will be lower. • This has to do with a Course’s Slope. • Mid-Range Slope is 112; Winagamie is 91; MidVallee is 115; and Chaska is 129. EWGA Fox Cities/Green Bay Chapter -- GN21 Handicap Training Seminar
Why would I want a Handicap? • For example, if a player with a 20 Handicap has a score of 100, her net score is 80 (100 - 20 = 80), while a player with a 25 Handicap and a score of 105 also has a net score of 80 (105 – 25 = 80). EWGA Fox Cities/Green Bay Chapter -- GN21 Handicap Training Seminar
When should I get a Handicap? • If you are just learning the game of golf and spend the majority of your time taking lessons or practicing, then it may be too early for you to get a Handicap. • Once you start playing 9- or 18-hole rounds, you should establish your Handicap. EWGA Fox Cities/Green Bay Chapter -- GN21 Handicap Training Seminar
How do I get a Handicap? • EWGA provides a Handicap service as a part of your membership. • This is included with the EWGA GolfNet 21 that is offered to every member affiliated with an EWGA Chapter. • In order to use this service you must first activate your GN21 account. • You then must enter a minimum of five 18-hole scores or ten 9-hole scores to establish your Handicap.

How to use the GN21 Handicap system • When using the “Enter Scores” option, always remember the following: • You must select “Manual Entry” from the “Course List” drop down menu if the course (or tee) cannot be found in the “Course Finder” list. • You must use the Equitable Stroke Chart (ESC). • ESC does not affect your real score; it is just for Handicap purposes. • For a manual entry, if you are entering a score for a 9-hole round, be sure to cut the rating in half but use the full slope when you enter your information.

Equitable Stroke Chart (ESC) Maximum Handicap for Women is 40.4; Maximum Handicap for Men is 36.4 EWGA Fox Cities/Green Bay Chapter -- GN21 Handicap Training Seminar
