Converting Course Rating/Slope for women. 3 years, 11 months ago #7293

birdiequeen ( User ) OFFLINE Single digit 'capper Posts: 131 Karma: 4	I haveing played several rounds from a tee box that only has a Men's Rating/Slope on the card. Is there some way to convert the Men's Rating/Slope for a Women playing back? I would like to have an accurate handicap. I've heard there is something on the USGA web site but could not find it.

There is a gender factor. If you look at almost any score card the front tees are rated higher than the next set of tees. The course I play has the first and second set of tees rated for women. The second set is rated for men also. In other words it has two ratings for the second set of tees. I'm not sure about the conversion table yet, haven't had time to review the details. My club assistant pro just called me to tell me what they found out. I did a quick search to find the table but did not have time to review.

This will work for men or women playing any tees or combination of tees not rated. On the web site go to the Handicap Manual, section 5. Then down to 5-2g. There you will find a table and instruction on calculating a temporary course rating. I love being able to play from where ever I want too.
