The Handicap system may be a little complicated in the beginning, but it brings lots of fun to golf. Basically you can play against Tiger Woods and beat him. That's because the handicap system makes the game easier for beginner players. The downside of the HCP system is that it's fairly difficult to calculate your handicap. However, by following the instructions you will learn to calculate your own handicap, and make your game more fun.
