First-T - At last, a simple Golf Match Handicap Calculator

Playing golf matches, especially against other club members, used to have it's challenges, when working out the handicaps of all concerned.

The new world of golf after the introduction of the World Handicap System in the UK on November 2nd 2020, meant that process became even more complicated with the introduction of a personal Handicap Index, with Course and Slope Ratings for each course and each tee on the course. When playing with your own club members - and especially when playing with members from other clubs - this resulted in many calculations being required before the first ball was hit - with associated delays on the 1st tee.

As an example, a Texas Scramble for 4 players requires this simple calculation;

Question	Action
What's my handicap?	Enter your current Handicap Index
What tee are we playing from?	Enter the Tee details
What is the Course Rating?	Enter the Course Rating
What is my Course Handicap	Multiply your Handicap Index by the Course Rating for your tee and then divide by 113
What about my playing partners?	Do the same for your 3 other playing partners
What is the Competition Handicap?	Now use this formula for each player, calculationg 25% of the lowest handicap, 20% of the second lowest, 15% of the next highest and 10% of the highest handicap player.
......then go and play!!

In many cases, your home golf club would have installed a management system such as Intelligent Golf to manage the handicaps and competitions. However, when playing casual matches with friends or against players from other clubs, those systems fall down. But there is a solution in First-T Golf Match Handicap Calculator!
