Golf Basics: learning golf’s handicap index

Golf isn't just a sport by talent and skill, it's also a sport of measurement and by measuring a golfer's potential ability, we talk about golf handicap. It is used to calculate the scores you expect to make depending on the course's difficulty, and is also used to determine which holes a golfer is granted via extra strokes. Other handicap systems are free of charge, although the USGA mainly does the tabulation for a small price.
