They give up strokes on the easiest holes, that is, the hole ranked the highest i.e 18, then 17, then 16 on the handicap or stroke index.
Your stroke allowance will still be 0 as three quarters of nothing is nothing.If your handicap was plus 1 then three quarters would be plus 1 and you would give one shot at the hole that is stroke index 18.
A plus 2 handicap is better than a minus 1 handicap as minus 1 would be a 1 handicap.
36 points is level your handicap. So you can simply add your handicap to par for the course, then if you have more than 36 points, take the amount you are over 36 points by and take this away from the total of par for the course plus your handicap. And if you have less than 36 points you add how many short you are to the total of par for the course and your handicap. However this will not work if you have had a hole where you were more than 2 shots over your allowance.
If a player has a plus 2 handicap say, you calculate their gross score and then add their handicap to it, instead of taking it away. Points wise, they will get no shots, but the difference is to get two points on the stroke index holes 1 and 2 they will need to make birdie, a birdie effectively becomes par on these holes.
A plus handicap is fantastic, it means that the player is regularly shooting under par.
A minus 2 handicap is essentially a 2 handicap, and plus two is far better. Plus two is where the player has been consistently shooting many strokes under par.
It is the score bowled plus the bowler's handicap added to it.
This is where someones handicap is less than 0. When you have your gross score you actually add your handicap on to calculate your nett score.
plus 4
Professional golfers don`t use handicaps as such because they do not give each other strokes. However, you can have a plus handicap and I`m sure tour pros would be +2 to +5 or so
One in two thousand or 0.05%.
Three quarters of four is one.
