Handicap Calculation: Average of 10 Best scores out of previous 20 games. If you do not have 20 games recorded use the average of 5 Best scores of the previous 10 games played.
On the Tee Box Handicap Example:
Team #1 Joe 15hdcp Team#2 Tom 8hdcp
Pat 10hdcp Bill 22hdcp
Tom has the lowest handicap of 8, so Tom goes to a zero and everyone else subtracts 8 from their handicap. Now everyone takes 75% of their remaining number and they will get strokes on the corresponding holes. If a fraction occurs always round up or down.
Joe 7 @ 75% = 5.25 Tom = 0
Pat 2 @ 75% = 1.5 Bill = 14 @ 75%=10.5
Final Calculated Handicaps:
Joe 5 Tom 0
Pat 2 Bill 11
