I personally use www.oobgolf.com because that was the first site i was introduced to in the process of searching for this kind of thing.

I can honestly say that it is awesome. Whoever said that you need to enter the stats for each course that you play on oob is incorrect. They store all the courses i've played so far, with the correct ratings and slopes depending on the tees you play from and yardages for each hole. It really doesn't get much easier.

Also, they use the USGA calculator to calculate your handicap. Yes, it's not official, but it's right.

Handicaps are a funny thing. I think it is a good idea to keep one. It's nice to know if you are improving or not. I've read up on how they work, but it is just weird to me. I don't play golf too much anymore. I get out about once a month during the school year (im in college), and in the summer maybe twice a week. My low index for june was 4.7, and then for july it crept down to 3.5. Now, for august it is 3.2....There is no way that I play good enough to be a 3.2. I shoot consistently in the mid to high 70's

Golf Digest has a pretty good stat tracker that I use. Doesn't give you an official USGA handicap obviously but it's free and has a lessons library.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
