The main goal of the game is to deposit the ball into various holes along the course of the field with the least possible strokes. The person with the least score is declared as the winner for that hole and thus the sum of scores obtained at the end of each hole accounts for the final score. When it comes to the scoring part of the game, one word which haunts most of the scorers is about the golf handicap. Handicap refers to a system of awarding points to the players depending upon their exponents and experience in the field of golf.
Few systems of golf handicap calculator also take the slope of the course into its consideration in computing the handicap of an individual player. In the United States, the players are given their handicap values based on the calculations formulated by the “United States Golf Association”.
