The purpose of the USGA Handicap System is to make the
game of golf enjoyable by enabling golfers of differing
abilities to compete on an equitable basis. A golfer begins
with a USGA Handicap Index and converts that to a Course
Handicap based upon the Slope Rating of the golf course
being played.
The handicap calculated reflects a golfer's "potential" ability
to play the game. With this in mind, the system disregards
unusually high holes played or rounds posted. One of the
basic premises of the USGA system is that golfers will try
to make the best score they can on each and every round
they play. They will also post every acceptable round for
peer review.
A golfer must belong to a golf club in order to maintain a
USGA Handicap Index. The Anchorage Women's Golf
Association is licensed by the USGA to issue handicaps to
clubs within the state.
