HANDICAPS, EXPLAINED — What the numbers actually mean. 1. It's not your average.Your Handicap Index is based on the average of your best 8 of your last 20 rounds, not every score. 2. Course & Slope adjust it. Your Index converts to a Course Handicap based on the tees you play and the course's difficulty (Slope & Rating). 3. It reflects your potential. That's why you rarely 'play to it'. A handicap shows what you're capable of on a GOOD day, not your typical round. What's your handicap — and do you usually play to it?

Cool but way easier to just carry a sand tube. It’s weird it’s not common in the USA. In Australia it’s totally normal to walk and bring sand.

Club Check: @_raymondwill does a great job with his "Fit Check" videos, highlighting what players are wearing and how to buy it yourself. So we did the same with the defending champ this week. Check out Adam Schenk's winning WITB from Bermuda last year, with a lot of oldies!

We’ve reached end times. Recently watched a TikTok video of a kid explaining how you can “game” the handicap system. Says to find a course that you play well, choose the front or back nine, and then exclusively play those nine holes until you know every inch of it. GHIN accepts 9 hole scores. So voilà. You’re now a single digit handicap.
