Can you imagine a 50 year old man playing Rafael Nadal in a tennis match and having a chance to win? I don\u2019t think it would be possible unless Nadal played blind folded.&nbsp; This could happen in golf if Tiger Woods gave his opponent who is a 15 handicap at least 23 shots because Tiger is + 8 handicap.&nbsp; The handicap system cannot factor the stress and the intimidation factor of playing Tiger but if you did not know it was Tiger, you would have a chance of winning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>The handicap system is complicated and very few people really understand how it works.&nbsp; To be honest, I am not an expert, however, I can explain it so that you will be able to understand why you are a 10 handicap instead of the 14 you think you are.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/casadecampoliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/slope-2.jpg?resize=300%2C166&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"slope\" class=\"wp-image-1459\" title=\"slope\" height=\"166\" width=\"300\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>First, let me start by saying that all golf courses are not created equal. This is why different courses have varying slopes and ratings. The slope of a golf course and the ratings are established according to length and difficulty related to the number of hazards, out of bounds, etc.&nbsp; If you look on the back of our scorecards you will find that the more difficult the course, the higher the slope and rating.&nbsp; If you normally play a course with a 115 slope and you play in a tournament on a course with a 126 slope, you will probably get one or two extra shots that day to make up for the course difficulties.&nbsp; If you play the white tees on your home course instead of the gold tees you normally play, you will probably drop a few strokes.&nbsp; It works both ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By submitting all your scores, eventually you will have an index and a course handicap that symbolizes your potential as a golfer; lets call it your \u201cgolf fingerprint\u201d.&nbsp; Your course handicap is your handicap on your home course from the tees you play most often.&nbsp; Your index is like your fingerprint and will be used to identify you and your ability as a golfer on other courses.&nbsp; Your \u201cgolf fingerprint\u201d won\u2019t send you to jail if you don\u2019t enter all your scores but it might identify you as a sandbagger, which is like being in golf jail with your friends and fellow competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After you play at least 20 rounds, the handicap system will have a good idea of what kind of golfer you are.&nbsp; The system uses only your best 10 scores out of your last 20.&nbsp; A few high scores do not affect the outcome but a few low and unusual scores will drastically changes your index.&nbsp; So, let\u2019s say for the sake of this article you are an 18.3 index.&nbsp;&nbsp; If you play the Teeth of the Dog from the blue tees you would be a 22 handicap and if you play the white tees on the Links it would be a 19.&nbsp; Why? Because the Links from the white tees is a much easier course compared to the blue tees on the Teeth of the Dog.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, this is a problem when you do not believe you can play with the handicap the system has calculated for you.&nbsp; The average amateur golfer believes they can play close to par, after subtracting their handicap from their score, every time they play.&nbsp; Frankly, they are mistaken.&nbsp; It is a fact that the average amateur golfer shoots a NET par only twice out of 10 rounds.&nbsp; One of the most popular comments I continually hear is, \u201cYou gave me a 20 handicap, and I am not that!\u201d I did not \u201cgive\u201d you the handicap; the computer gave you your index according to the scores you posted.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lets say you and I were to play a match.&nbsp; If I am a zero handicap, and you are a 20 handicap, I must give you 20 shots.&nbsp; Because you also like to play the white tees and I like to play from the blue tees, then we must also take in to account their rating in order for our match to be fair.&nbsp; If the rating from the white tees is 70 and the blue tees is 72, then I must subtract 2 shots from you, therefore your handicap for our match is now 18.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Golf is a wonderful game.&nbsp; The greatest game I have ever played.&nbsp; It is most definitely the one game you can enjoy at any age. The idea behind the handicap system is to submit all of your scores and TRUST that the system works.&nbsp; I promise you it does work and if you believe in it, you will have more fun playing the game.&nbsp; I don\u2019t really believe I am a scratch golfer, however, computer says I am.&nbsp; So, guess what?&nbsp; I do play par or better, 2 out of 10 rounds, so I must be a 0 handicap.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The handicap system works no matter what you or I think.&nbsp; I guarantee if we turn in all of our scores we will find that our handicap will match our abilities as golfers.&nbsp; Most importantly it really doesn\u2019t matter what our handicap is, just as long as we can play a round together, set up a fair match according to our handicap, and have a great day.&nbsp; I hope we both play well and that the pesos go to the player who played the best that day according to our handicap.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/casadecampoliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/gilles-2.jpg?resize=96%2C96&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"gilles\" class=\"wp-image-1335\" title=\"gilles\" height=\"96\" width=\"96\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<br>\n<span style=\"color: #444444;\">This article contributed by<br>\nGilles Gagnon<br>\nCasa de Campo<br>\nDirector of Golf Operations&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Golf is a wonderful game for many reasons, but mainly because people of different abilities can play together, enjoy the golf course, and have a good and fair match because of the handicap system.
