Do you have a location where you can keep my scores and figure my handicap?

No, we don't do that. But there are literally MILLIONS of sites that do that. OK, maybe not MILLIONS...but there are a bunch. My favorite is run by the great guys at oobgolf.com.They also have a good course finder (map) and more. I suggest you check them out for tracking your scores/handicap/stats and then come back here, of course, and tell everyone how well you played!

Fairways & greens,

I think its rather silly to keep a handicap anywhere else but your club.  Just go see the pro at your club and start one there.  Whenever a person needs to varify your handicap they are not going to check a website they are going to call your club.

Here is the formula if you just want to keep your own;

"Golf Handicap Calculation - Step 1
A minimum of five scores and a maximum of 20 is required to get started. For each score, the USGA Course Rating and Slope Rating for the courses played are also required. Using those figures, calculate the handicap differential for each round entered using this formula:

(Score - Course Rating) x 113 / Slope Rating

For example, let's say the score is 85, the course rating 72.2, the slope 131.

The formula would be (85 - 72.2) x 113 / 131.

This differential is calculated for each round entered.

(Note: The number 113 represents the slope rating of a golf course of average difficulty, as set by the USGA.)

Golf Handicap Calculation - Step 2
Figure out how many differentials are being used. Not every differential that results from Step 1 will be used in the next step. If only five rounds are entered, only the lowest differential will be used. If 20 rounds are entered, only the 10 lowest differentials are used. A chart at the bottom of this page shows how many differentials are used based on the number of rounds entered.

Golf Handicap Calculation - Step 3
Get an average of the differentials used by adding them together and dividing by the number used (i.e., if five differentials are used, add them up and divide by five).

Multiply the result by .96 (96-percent). Drop all the digits after the tenths (do not round off) and the result is handicap index.

Looks like Froghairs has all the info you need.  If you don't want to do it yourself, there are many sites online that will do it for you.  I generally use rcganetwork.org, a Canadian site, but I also use the gametrack feature at freegolfinfo.com. 

Thanks for the info FrogHairs!
