Nine hole scores are useful for Golf Leagues, beginners, juniors, and seniors who may be interested in tracking their progress without having to keep an official handicap. Here are two easy ways to track nine hole scores with the American Golf System:

  • For 9 hole handicaps with 9 hole scores, cut the rating in half on a different set of tees (some courses may be able to give you the rating/slope on the particular nine holes). Leave the slope at the 18 hole number. And if the course only has a 9 hole slope (or you use the 9 hole slope), you may have to double it to obtain a 9 hole index.

  • For 18 hole handicaps with 9 hole scores, cut the rating and slope in half.
