The Magic Behind the Calculator

Our calculator uses your Handicap Index to determine your Course Handicap, applying the formulas used by the USGA. But what does that all mean?

Handicap Index: This is your golfing fingerprint, an average of your best scores, adjusted for the difficulty of the courses you’ve played.

It’s a number that levels the playing field, allowing golfers of different abilities to compete fairly.

Course Handicap: This number adjusts your Handicap Index for the specific difficulty of a course, allowing you to determine the number of strokes you get on any given course.

For Torrey Pines Golf Course (South Course), with its Course Rating of 78.1 (the score a scratch golfer should shoot) and Slope Rating of 144 (how much harder the course is for bogey golfers than for scratch golfers), the Course Handicap gives us an idea of what you’d shoot there.

The Reality Check

Now, for a bit of fun — we all know that golf is unpredictable.

That’s why our calculator also gives you a “Reality Score.”

This score takes into account the jitters, the wind that just picked up, and, of course, “Coastal Cliffs” that could make or break your round.

It also assumes Major Championship conditions and that you are playing in the Major alongside the pros. So we add 7 strokes for tournament pressure.

We also bump up the course rating by 2 and the slope because the course will be made more difficult when hosting a Major golf tournament.

Torrey Pines is long, at 7,800 yards it’s as long as it gets on the PGA Tour.
