A golf handicap is a number that represents a golfer's playing ability, allowing players of different skill levels to compete fairly. Instead of rewarding only the lowest scores, the handicap system adjusts scores based on a player's recent performance and the difficulty of the course. A lower handicap indicates a more experienced golfer, while a higher handicap is common for beginners. As you play more rounds and improve your game, your handicap can change over time. If you don't have an official handicap yet, you can use a golf handicap estimator to get a reliable estimate and better understand your current skill level before tracking your progress.
