Golf handicaps play a crucial role in the game, providing a measure of a golfer’s ability. The official term for a handicap is “Handicap Index,” which measures a player’s expected score-to-par. For example, a 15-handicap indicates that a player is expected to shoot 15 shots above total par. Handicaps are essential for tracking progress and ability, as well as for competitive match play. In match play, players use “Course Handicaps” specific to the course and tees being played on a particular day. Calculating a golf handicap involves using a player’s 20 most recent scores, with only the eight best scores…

Finau’s tee shot on the 122-yard par-3 landed on the back of the green, setting up what should have been a routine two-putt for par.…
