Hi Linda - I have a 9-hole handicap. I am golfing in an outing and they want an 18-hole handicap number. How do I convert the 9-hole handicap to one for 18 holes? Thanks!
Lulu
Dear Lulu,
If you have an official USGA nine-hole Handicap Index, then you may double it for an 18-hole handicap [USGA Handicap System, Rule 10-5]. For example, if your 9-hole Handicap Index is 16.4, that will convert to 32.8 for an 18-hole competition.
