Just wondering. Mine hovers between 5.9-7.2

Your scores must have some large variances considering the method used to calculate a USGA h/c - 96% of the average of the lowest 10 differentials in your last 20 scores revised 15 times a season. Or are you talking about some other method?

Yes this is an USGA. My top 10 rounds are 73-81, BUT my bad rounds can go up to 88.

Highest ten differentials of the last 20 don't get calculated in your h/c so a stray 88 shouldn't matter. Out of curiosity, what service are you using?

I assume this variance may take place over a longer period of time...

Mine can range +/- a stroke during a year. (post about 40 rounds a year)

With 25 scores, there would be only 5 scores difference between the earliest and latest possible handicap calculation. I didn't do the math but is it possible to have a 2 stroke variation with only 5 scores changing?

For the data posted, no. I calculated:

10/21/2008 6.9 10/19/2008 7.2 10/16/2008 7.2 10/14/2008 7.7 10/12/2008 7.9 9/28/2008 7.9 My official h/c dropped 7.9 strokes this year and the biggest change in any of the official 2 week periods was 3.7 strokes. But I attribute that to some early season big scores dropping out of the calculation.
