Scheid System

Scheid System

The Scheid System computes a handicap based on hole-by-hole scores of a single 18-hole round.  It is useful for computing handicaps for a group of unhandicapped players or for players with no playing history on which to base a handicap.

The Scheid System produces approximately equal net scores near par.  A calculated Scheid handicap cannot exceed 50 strokes.  Generally, an event using the Scheid system rewards skilled golfers who score consistently.  Like most one-round handicap calculations, the Scheid System suggests to every participant that they were almost a winner.

The Scheid System is also available for handicapping a Scramble of unhandicapped players.
