USGA
HANDICAP INDEX CALCULATION
You have 20 scores available. Each score produces a
differential which is calculated as follows: (Score - Rating) x 113
/ Slope.
Based on your available scores, the following table
will determine the score differentials to be used in calculating
your Official USGA handicap Index.

TOURNAMENT REDUCTION 'R' CALCULATION
This calculation uses all the tournament scores
played within the last 12 months or within your last 20-score
history regardless of date played. These are called eligible
tournament scores and there must be at least 2 eligible tournament
scores to continue this calculation.
Your record contains 20 eligible tournament scores.
The 2 tournament scores that produced the lowest differentials are
listed below. These 2 lowest differentials are used to start the
alternative calculation.

Official USGA 'R' Handicap Index is calculated as
follows.
Lowest Eligible Tournament Differential
12.4
Second Lowest Eligible Tournament Differential
13.8
The second lowest differential is subtracted from the Official
USGA Handicap Index
15.6 - 13.8 =
1.8
Since 1.8 is less than 3.0 the index is not subject
to T-Reduction.
