For those golfers posting 9 hole rounds, PasturePool now provides a Handicap Index(N). This is currently available on our WebSite version only.
Golf clubs compute a Handicap Index (N) by applying nine-hole adjusted gross scores to the USGA Course Rating and Slope Rating of the nine holes played to determine Handicap Differentials.
Note: Players with a Handicap Index (N) who play an 18-hole round, must post two nine-hole scores to their scoring record (N).
Example: For a nine-hole adjusted gross score of 45 with a nine-hole USGA Course Rating of 36.2 and a Slope Rating of 121, the nine-hole Handicap Differential is (45 - 36.2) x 113 / 121 = 8.2. If the average of the best ten nine-hole Handicap Differentials is 8.9, then the Handicap Index (N) is 8.9 x .96 = 8.5. It is posted as "8.5N.
