Calculation of Ryder Cup Handicaps
• Handicap Index: June 15 revision
• Course Handicap: Men’s slope-120; Men’s forward slope-116; Women’s slope-69.2 120. Additional 2 strokes deducted for men playing from the forward tees (68.9-67.6=1.3 rounded to 1). Maximum CH: Men-18; Women-24
• CH Adjustment: Reduction based on points accumulated in prior tournaments for first, second, and third place net finishes (see the Handicap Adjustment Chart on the JustGolf website: http://justgolftournaments.blogspot.com)
• Tournament CH: Course Handicap minus CH Adjustment
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: 40% of lower handicap plus 25% 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)
