Your index, worked out the way the WHS does it.
Not an estimate, not "average your last five". The actual World Handicap System method: 113 over slope times score minus rating for every round, the best 8 of the last 20 (or the smaller-sample table with its adjustments when you have fewer), rounded to a tenth.
WHAT IT DOES
- Hole-by-hole entry with automatic net double bogey: each hole is capped at par + 2 + the strokes you get there from the stroke index, so the adjusted gross score is right without you doing it
- Course library: save each course and tee with its rating, slope, pars and stroke indexes; see the strokes you get on every hole for the tee you are about to play
- Exceptional score reduction: a round 7 or more below your index reduces every differential by 1 (10 or more: 2), as the rules require
- Low Handicap Index and caps: the lowest index in the last 365 days is tracked and the soft cap (half of any rise above +3) and hard cap (+5) are applied
- Score differential for every round from course rating and slope
- Handicap Index from the WHS table: 3 rounds to 20, with the -2, -1 and best-of adjustments applied correctly
- Counting rounds highlighted so you can see which scores are carrying you
- Course handicap for any tee: index × slope ÷ 113 + (rating − par)
- Playing handicap at your allowance (95% singles by default)
- What to shoot next: the differential you need to beat to lower your index, translated into a score on the tee you are playing
- Differential trend chart and a slump warning
