What about 9 hole rounds?

No need, in fact, you need to include those as long as they're on rated courses. You need to find out the 9-hole rating if it's just half of an 18-hole course. If it's not posted, the pro shop should know it, or you can try to look it up through the USGA website. You then start from your first 9-hole round and pair up consecutive 9-hole rounds (irrespective of the time between them) into 18-hole rounds. Using the 9-hole rating and slope for each 9, you compute the 18-hole rating as the sum of the two ratings and the slope as the average of the two slopes (rounding to the nearest integer, 0.5 rounds up). You then submit the sum of those two scores with a C after to indicate that it's a combined score.

Follow the link that was just posted to get the full details.

Thanks. This will actually lower my index a few strokes. I play much better on 9 alone.

I have always just taken my 10 most recent scores and averaged my total over par. I know that's not correct. Whats the best way to get a real handicap? How do you all do it?

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By Zeph ·

      First (12 holes) round in a year, maybe the third round in five years. After prioritizing family for a long time, I’m ready to play more golf. We moved back where I grew up and started playing golf. The course is close, but only six holes and pretty short, so the longest club I bring is a 4i. It is very undulated, with a lot of elevation changes and 4/6 greens are blind shots. The long game was relatively good (relative to my game and swing). Got things to work on, but the current state is manageable. One OB. Wedges and short game was atrocious. Chunking like I was making a garden. On the worst hole I chunked a 58° approach, then chunked three chips in a row… Time to search up some chipping topics and start practicing. I’ll take this over bad long game and good short game. The short game is easier to fix. Shot a net +17(!), gross +23, over 12 holes.

      My Favorite Putts

      By DrizZzY ·

      I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Darkfrog ·

      Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.
