| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Players’ handicaps | Tap a number to change it. |
| Use course-adjusted handicaps | On (the default): numbers are Handicap Indexes, converted for each round’s tees using slope and rating. Off: numbers are used as entered, as course handicaps. |
| Hdcp. Allowance | How much of each handicap counts, per round: 100% · Full, 90%, 85%, 80% or Other. New rounds start on the USGA allowance, marked USGA: Four Ball and 2v2 best ball matches 90%, 2-Man Best Ball and Best 2 of 4 in a field 85%. Individual stroke play and Stableford start at 100%. |
| Show playing handicaps | A table of what every player plays off in every round, after tees, nines and allowance. |
| Spin off the low handicap | Ryder Cup net events: the low handicap in each match plays to scratch and everyone else gets the difference. |
Good to knowScramble rounds use a team handicap instead of an allowance: 35% of the low and 15% of the high handicap for twos, and 25/20/15/10% for fours. Skins always use full handicaps.
A different handicap for one round
Open the Organizer toolbox → Adjust handicaps (or the list in the Handicaps card) and pick a Round tab. On Round 1 you change the player’s handicap for the event. On a later round, Changes here count for Round N only.
If you change Round 1 after a later round is under way for that player, you’re asked whether to keep the started round at the old number.
