Formula for determining Handicap Index:
Handicap Index = (Score - Course Rating) * (113 / Slope Rating)

If you have played more than 20 rounds of golf, average the best 10 handicap indexes of your last 20 rounds
Or if you've played less than 20 rounds of golf, follow the chart below.
Finally, multiply the average of your indexes by 0.96 to get your handicap.
Please also note: the maximum allowable Handicap is 36.4 for men and 40.4 for women.
