Scoring and results
Handicaps and net scores
How strokes are given, and the course layout GolfBreak uses.
Each player gets strokes from their own handicap on the hardest holes first, by stroke index. A handicap of 18 gets one stroke a hole. A 22 gets one a hole plus a second on stroke index 1 to 4. In a nine-hole round, everyone plays off half their handicap. Plus handicaps give strokes back on the easiest holes.
The course
Add a course card (see Course cards) and its real pars and stroke indexes are used. Without one, a round plays a standard par-72 layout under the course name you typed.
Tip No handicap? Leave it blank and you’ll play off scratch, or use Help me estimate on a trip’s Players screen.
