The Fairgame Handicap

So… What’s a Fairgame Handicap?

The Fairgame Handicap is a number used to measure one’s ability to play golf and roughly represents how many strokes one can score in relation to par.Handicaps normally range from 0 to 25. The lower the number, the better golfer you are. If you’re really good at golf (like Adam Scott for example) you’d have a handicap less than than zero, which is a plus handicap (i.e. +4). If you’re a plus handicap you might want to stop reading this page and go try out for the Open or something.

How is my Fairgame Handicap calculated?

Each Fairgame Handicap is calculated a handicap after every round. There’s no need to wait until you play a months worth of golf - we start calculating after your very first round. The more golf you play the more precise your handicap will become. We recommend logging at least 5 rounds.

How many rounds should I enter before my handicap starts to become precise?

We will calculate a handicap for as few as 1 round. Your handicap will become more precise after 5 rounds.

Is there a maximum or minimum Fairgame Handicap?

The Fairgame Handicap maxes out at 36, with no minimum. Going low is totally up to you.

Will the Fairgame use my 9-hole scores to calculate my handicap?

We get it, playing 18 holes can be a lot… but you still may want to log it towards your Fairgame Handicap. Every 9 hole round that you play will be multiplied by 2.

Do I have to record every round I play towards my Fairgame Handicap?

Not at all. If you’d prefer rounds not to be recorded you can hit “delete” round after playing.

Can I enter a score from my old scorecards to get a handicap?

Your Fairgame Handicap is the most accurate when you enter recent rounds of golf. We recommended not adding that one time you shot a 68 5 years ago but are think it’s fine to log recent rounds from the current playing season. Note: Our app does not allow you to backdate rounds so any new rounds added will reflect the date of logging.

Are rounds from Par 3 courses included?

You bet. Go low out there.

Can I use my Fairgame Handicap for tournaments and events?

Fairgame Handicaps are currently not accepted for tournaments and events - if you’re playing in any events run by other governing organizations, we recommend following their guidelines to ensure you can enter (and hopefully win).
