Analysis and handicap index

Trends, putting and clubs, plus an estimated handicap index.

  1. On the Scorecard+ menu, tap Analysis.
  2. Choose a player. The number beside each name is how many finished rounds they have.
  3. Scroll through their summary, handicap, course-by-course results, how they score on par 3s, 4s and 5s, and their scoring mix.

Analysis fills in as you finish rounds. The more rounds, and the more detail you record (putts, shot notes and GPS shots), the more it can tell you. For example: "Most shots dropped on par 3s".

Estimated handicap index

After three complete 18-hole rounds, Analysis shows an estimated handicap index, worked out the World Handicap System way: the best 8 of your last 20 rounds, using the tee's course rating and slope where the club's card has them. Tap Use to make it the player's handicap.

Please note: this is an estimate for friendly games. It isn't an official handicap. Your club or national association keeps that.
