Handicap Estimator
What the Handicap Estimator is for
This estimator is for learning, not for official handicap use. It gives a simple view of how your scores compare with par, so you can understand your scoring level without getting lost in official formulas.
Enter several recent scores and pars. The tool will show a basic average over par. If the number is going down, your game is probably getting better. If it is stuck, look at your saved scorecards and find the biggest leak.
- 1. Enter honest scores from recent rounds.
- 2. Compare each score against par.
- 3. Use the result as a practice signal, not an official number.
