Only the last 10 scores are considered for handicapping.
The equation for calculating a differential is ...
Diff = (Adjusted Gross Score  -  Rating)  x  (113 / Slope)
3. Use the differentials to calculate a handicap.
Out of the 10 available calculated differentials the
2 highest and 2 lowest differentials are discarded (not used).
Differentials 'used' are added together...
10.0+12.0+11.0+16.0+13.0+11.0 = 73.0
Then divide by the total number used.
Pre-Handicap = 73.0 /  6 Pre-Handicap = 12.167
Brian is a regular player, so according to the
handicap setup the Handicap Percent is 90
Handicap = 12.167 x 90 Handicap = 10.95  (Digits after hundredth place are deleted)
Convert the handicap to a 'course' handicap using the slope of the course being played. (River Bend Golf Course (1-9)
Handicap = Handicap x (Slope / 113)
Handicap = 10.95 x (113 / 113)
Handicap = 10.95
Final Handicap = 10.95 Handicap for Wine Alott will be posted as 11
