The USGA calculation has been slightly adapted to the calculation of the indoor golf handicap to make it more suitable to our needs in the spirit of protecting the security and fairness of the competition.

In order to acquire an indoor golf handicap, the player needs to play a minimum of three completed rounds in any 18-hole Online Tournament.

In addition, the golf games are computed towards a handicap and are dependent upon the following criteria:

• All three 18-hole rounds need to be completed.
• The Online Tournament the round was played in must be completed. The following statement is an example of what will appear if this is not the case: "Two of the games for Thomas are Still in Progress". The reason for this is to allow the organizer to adjust scores in anyway necessary prior to computing the round towards a handicap.
• Handicap indexes are computed every Sunday night. The reason for this is to prevent handicaps from being manipulated up and/or down on a daily basis.

Our system recalculates player's handicaps every Sunday night. The calculation is as follows:

• For each completed round, a handicap index is calculated taking into account the golf course slope and rating for the tee played. The calculation formula is as follows: gross score x slope / rating
• Up to 20 of the player's completed rounds are collected.
• From the completed rounds, a combined set of the best scores are selected. The exact number selected is calculated according to the following table:

• The handicap indexes of the selected rounds are averaged and multiplied by an indoor golf coefficient. The coefficient we currently use is 0.98.

Here are a few considerations to keep in mind regarding the handicap calculation:

• The system issued handicap a player uses, is the current handicap assigned to the player when they register to play an Online Tournament.

• When a player registers to play a tournament directly on the simulator, the simulator will draw upon the current handicap issued by the system.

• Other tournaments allow the player to enter a handicap when they register to play an Online Tournament.

• There may be a tournament offered by an organizer where a different handicap is required to play other than the current player's handicap.

• The maximum handicap is 36.4. For ladies, the maximum handicap is 40.4.
