19. PLAYING HANDICAP; EGA PLAYING HANDICAP
19.3 A player’s Playing Handicap is determined by applying his Exact Handicap to
the EGA Playing Handicap Formula:
Playing Handicap = Exact Handicap x (Slope Rating / 113) + (Course Rating - Par)
The Playing Handicap is expressed as a whole number (0.5 is rounded
upwards, -0.5 [= “plus” 0.5] rounds upwards to 0 [scratch] and
-1.5 [= “plus”1.5] to -1 [= “plus”1] ).
