How A Golf Handicap Is Calculated
When you play a round of golf, your gross score is recorded (the number of strokes you have taken on every hole) and then if necessary you reduce your score on any hole where you took more than two shots above par, to a double bogey or two shots above par (e.g. you score 7 on a par 4, reduce it to 6) - this new score is your gross adjusted score. When this adjusted score is totalled it will give you the number of shots played during the round to be used in calculating your handicap. The par for the course is deducted from your total gross adjusted score (GAS). This will be repeated for all the three

Once you have obtained your handicap you can now play knowing you are able to compete on a par with other golfers. After obtaining your handicap it can be adjusted to reflect your play!
Golf handicaps (1 - 28) are divided into 4 categories
The categories are:-
Golf Handicaps 0 - 5 (Category 1)
Golf Handicaps 6 - 12 (Category 2)
Golf Handicaps 13 - 19 (Category 3)
Golf Handicaps 20 - 28 (Category 4)

Let’s first assume your net score is above the par for the golf course - this is where the categories are first used. Each category has a buffer zone (the lee way before a handicap adjustment is made) which is as follows:-
Category 1 - buffer 1 shot
Category 2 - buffer 2 shots
Category 3 - buffer 3 shots
Category 4 - buffer 4 shots
If your score is within the buffer zone for your category, you will have no adjustment made to your golf handicap.
If your net score is over the standard scratch score by more than the buffer zone, your golf handicap will increase by 0.1 - note

Now let’s look at what happens if your net is below the par for the golf course. Again the categories come into play as each has a multiplier as follows:-
Category 1 - multiply 0.1
Category 2 - multiply 0.2
Category 3 - multiply 0.3
Category 4 - multiply 0.4
So let s assume your net score is 3 below par and you are a category 3 player, you multiply 3 x 0.3 = 0.9. So your exact golf handicap is reduced by 0.9 of a shot.
