Features
Read full description

This app allows you to enter a slope, a rating, a par and a playing handicap percentage. You can choose to use rating and par in the course handicap calculation or simply use the slope as in GB&I calculations. Then when you enter the handicap index for 4 players it will calculate the number of strokes each player receives dependant on the playing handicap percentages. It will calculate for rounded course handicaps and for non rounded course handicaps.
