The existing calculation method for daily handicaps have now been modified with the Golf Australia CONNECT changeover as of October, 2025.
The new 18 Hole Daily handicap formula is as below:
((GA Handicap x Slope Rating ÷ 113) + (Scratch Rating minus Par)) x 0.93 x Consistency Factor*
- Consistency Factor Values: Women/Girls = 1.0483 | Men/Boys = 0.9986
- The result of the Daily Handicap calculation is rounded to the nearest whole number.
The new 9 Hole Daily handicap formula is as below:
((GA Handicap ÷ 2 x 9-hole Slope Rating ÷ 113) + (9-hole Scratch Rating minus 9-hole Par)) x 0.93 x Consistency FactorConsistency Factor Values Women/Girls = 1.0483 | Men/Boys = 0.9986
- The result of the Daily Handicap calculation is rounded to the nearest whole number.
No work will be required by players or by club staff. The MiClub system will use this new formula and calculation automatically. The only task by club administrators will be to re-print or update any Daily Handicap Lookup-charts within the proshop or clubhouse. Updated charts are available on Golf Australia's website here
