Handicap Manager for Excel is a full featured software application written for Microsoft Excel for Windows. In includes full support for Excel 2007 through 2016 and beyond as well as Office 365. All you have to enter is your adjusted round score (ie no hole score worse than a double bogey as per latest CONGU rules), your current exact handicap and your course Standard Scratch. A handicap calculator is also included in our more complex Golf: Performance Analysis tool.

Could you send me the formula or examples for simply entering golf scores and
determining golf handicap? My golf course does have a computer/handicap system but we need a separate 9-hole match play handicap entry system for our league. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

It's super easy to right the formula yourself to get the HC score for each round. Say you write in a bunch of stats about the round in a row 1, with column A being your score, column B being the course rating from the tees you played, and column C being the course slope from the tees you played. Then your index score for that round is:=(A1 - B1).

(113 / C1). 0.95Say that formula is in column D. If you've entered at least 20 rounds, then your HC is just the average of the best 10. There's definitely a better way to get that average, but an easy way to get it is to use the SMALL function.
SMALL takes two arguments. The first is the array of values, in this case D1:D20. The second is the rank of the value you want. So if you want the second smallest value, you would type '=SMALL(D1:D20, 2)'. So you could put into some cell the formula:=(SMALL(D1:D20, 1) + SMALL(D1:D20, 2) + SMALL(D1:D20, 3) +.
+ SMALL(D1:D20, 10)) / 10Where the. Signifies using that same SMALL formula for ranks 4 through 9.Alternatively, there are plenty of free handicap trackers for both the PC and your phone. I use the 'Handicap' app for my android phone.
It doesn't keep tons of stats. Just FWs, GIR, and penalties. But you can enter courses and rounds and it'll keep your HC for you and keep track of those other three stats as well. Originally Posted by mdl=(A1 - B1).

Then you can just enter the course/tee identifier and have it automatically look up the rating and slope from the second sheet (instead of entering those numbers every time you play that course/tee). For example, here's my formula for finding the differential:ROUND((A1-VLOOKUP(B1,Courses!$A$3:$C$102,2,FALSE)).113/VLOOKUP(B1,Courses!$A$3:$C$102,3,FALSE),1)In this example, B1 is the course/tee identifier and A1 is the score I shot. 'Courses' is the name of a second sheet with the courses on it, where column A is the course/tee identifier that I enter with my score on the first sheet, column B is the rating, and column C is the slope. The Course sheet has a list of courses from row 3 to row 102. The third argument in the VLOOKUPs is the column number for the value I'm looking for (column 2 for rating, column 3 for slope), and the 4th argument (FALSE) tells VLOOKUP to find an exact match, not an approximate one.Just as an example of what I mean by a course/tee identifier, I might use 'DOB' for Diamond Oaks blue tees.There may be better ways of doing this - I am by no means an Excel expert.(Also note that the 0.96 multiplier is not in my formula because I do that when I average the 10 best.).

Differentials areroundedto the nearest tenth. Then the Index istruncatedto the tenths place. I think one thing that is not being addressed is that wood bats force you to change your entire approach at the plate.
It's a lot more that just the added 'pop' from the sweet spot of a metal bat. Which BBCor addressed a bit. But decreased weight (increasing swing speed), a bigger sweet spot (requiring less precision). And most importantly, significantly more forgiveness on non-sweetspot hits. Specifically, but not limited to the fact that you can hit metal bats off the hands on the tapered area and not only not break your bat, but sometimes come away with a decent hit. Once you switch to wood bats, you have to learn that you can no longer swing at pitches you have become accustomed to swinging at your whole life.
Not to mention that the move to a wood bat typically signifies moving up a level where you'll have to swing a heavier bat at pitches that are coming harder.I believe that the comparison from baseball bats to golfers switching to a different golf ball is not as easily dismissed as some of the comments in this thread are suggesting.
