A Handicap Index is a measure of your demonstrated playing ability - in other words, your potential. It doesn’t reflect your average score - instead, it’s calculated from your better rounds, providing an equitable comparison between players of all skill levels. Because of this, most players only play to their handicap about 20-25% of the time, making it a reflection of what you can achieve when playing well.
