A Ryder Cup has three formats, each of which is
handicapped differently. After the handicap is calculated for each format, it
is divided by 3 (each 6-hole format represents one-third of the competition).
• Scramble: 35% of lower
handicap plus 15% of higher handicap, divided by 3
• Selected drive/alternate
shot: 60% of lower handicap plus 40% of higher handicap, divided by 3
• Better ball: 90% for men;
95% for women (dotted on cards)
