Re: Getting and Official Handicap
The easiest way in the UK is to join a club and then get 3 cards signed off by a member or members which already have official H'caps and then hand them to pro to calculate. He will then issue you with a cert' stating your H'cap.

Re: Getting and Official Handicap
In Australia it's a similar deal. Three cards signed by members, but this only gets you a club handicap. It takes five signed cards to get an official nationally reconised handicap.
The pro can tell you what your handicap should be but here its worked out by

Wait for it



The handicapper.


Wonder how they came up with that title. Must of taken a committee meeting that surely lasted to the wee hours of the morning

It is a machine name. A person throws your scores into 'The Handicapper', and it spits out a handicap.
