Yahoo! Handicap Tracker - Join the 2+2 group!
If anyone is using Yahoo! Handicap Tracker and would like to join a group dedicated to 2+2'ers...Now is your chance because I just created it!
[img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Group ID# 23138 Password: 2plus2 I've been using this for a couple of years and from what I can tell, it uses exactely the same calculation method as the USGA, with the added benefit of being able to see your adjusted handicap immediately, instead of waiting till the end of the month with the USGA. Yahoo! has a great database of courses, complete with scorecards, so even if you currently have a USGA handicap, tracking it concurrently on Yahoo! is a piece of cake! So join! I'd love to see what scores and where some others are playing! Who knows, if enough people join and it becomes big, maybe someday down the line we get a little get-together going for some poker and golf....somewhere... |

Re: Yahoo! Handicap Tracker - Join the 2+2 group!
Take your score and subtract the course rating.
Take the result and multiply by 113. Take the result and divide by the course slope rating. The result is called a handicap differential. Take the average of the best 10 of your last 20 differentials and multiply by .96. That's your handicap index. |

Re: Yahoo! Handicap Tracker - Join the 2+2 group!
I just googled "yahoo handicap tracker" (I don't bother remembering the link), and this was the second link on google.
The power of 2+2! I joined as well (14.9). I was hitting the ball just about the worst of my life yesterday, but still shot an 88. I've been able to score better recently for some reason. |
