The committee reviews exceptions
The work queue shows only what needs a human eye: an unusual card, an incomplete round, a request for review. Everything else resolves itself.
( 01 )Product
The handicap that calculates itself.
Every card posted recalculates the index under the official rules — with an audit trail from the published number back to the shot that produced it. The committee stops doing arithmetic and starts doing its job.
( 02 )How the index is made
From the shot to the index, with no shortcut
Four linked steps, run by the platform on every card posted — in the order and the proportion the official handicap rules define.
- ( 01 )
Card attested
The player posts the card from the digital scorecard and the marker confirms it hole by hole. Only an attested card enters the calculation — crossings-out and manual checking are history.
- ( 02 )
Differential calculated
The adjusted score is compared against the rating and slope of the tee played. The same course on a hard day and an easy one produces different differentials — exactly as the rules require.
- ( 03 )
Best differentials averaged
Out of the player's recent differentials, only the best ones go into the average, in the proportion the rule defines. One bad day doesn't undo months of consistent play.
- ( 04 )
Index published
The updated index appears for the player, the committee and the tournaments — at the same moment, as the same number, with no spreadsheet version doing the rounds.
( 03 )Auditable by design
Every index comes with proof of origin
An audit isn't a report you generate afterwards — it's how the system stores every number from the start.
Traceable back to the card
Every index shows which cards produced it. Click the number and the whole chain opens: differentials used, tee played, date and marker for each round.
A full history per player
Every update is recorded in sequence — today's index, yesterday's and the one from the very first card. A player's progress is a fact you can look up, not something you remember.
Disputes with an answer
“My handicap is wrong” stops being an argument and becomes a lookup: the committee opens the trail, shows the calculation and closes the subject with data — in minutes.

Posting the card is updating the index
The Handicap System has no score-entry screen — on purpose. It is born connected to the Digital Scorecard: the end of a round is the start of the recalculation.
No re-typing in the pro shop, no paper card waiting in a drawer, no weeks between playing and seeing the index move. What the player marks on the Digital Scorecard is exactly what the calculation uses.
A
Round closed in the app
The player closes the card on their phone, still out on the course — hole by hole, with the marker beside them.
B
The marker attests
The marker confirms the card on their own device. That's the digital signature the calculation needs.
C
Index recalculated and published
Differential, average and publication happen in automatic sequence. Nobody at the club touches a thing.
( 05 )For the club
The committee leaves the calculator and takes up judgement
With the arithmetic handled by the platform, the handicap committee's work changes in kind: less adding up, more deciding.
Rules applied without variation
The same calculation, in the same order, for every card from every player. The consistency no shared spreadsheet can guarantee.
Adjustments that are signed
When the committee does need to step in, the adjustment exists — recorded with who, when and why, visible on the player's trail. Authority, with transparency.
( 06 )Frequently asked
What people always ask
The questions that come up in every demo of the module — answered the way we answer them live.
- What about a new player with no history?
- The index starts from the first cards posted, following the minimum the official rules require. While the history is still building, the platform tells the player how many cards are left — instead of leaving them without an answer.
- Do casual rounds count?
- The club decides which rounds enter the calculation — tournaments only, or everyday play as well. The chosen rule is visible to everyone, and each card shows whether it counted towards the index.
- Is there a manual adjustment?
- Yes. The committee can adjust an index where the rule allows it — and every adjustment is recorded with who made it, when and why. It appears on the player's trail like any other event.
- Does the player have to request the update?
- No. Posting the card is the trigger: the recalculation follows attestation, with no queue at the pro shop and no request by message. The new index appears on the player's profile.
