Speaker Topic: Do Golf Handicaps Always Level the Playing Field?   

Golf handicapping is meant to “level the playing field” and allow players of different abilities to compete equally in tournaments. Each golfer has a handicap based on a formula using the ten best scores in the most recent twenty rounds. In competition, the handicap is subtracted from a golfer’s gross score to determine the net score.  The lowest net scores are the winning scores.

For this talk, we use JMP’s analytical and visualizing capabilities to investigate the relationship between gross and net scores versus handicaps for several difference tournaments run at a private country club.
