If you're wondering how your stroke adjustment (handicap) is calculated, here's how it works:
Stroke adjustment is calculated by averaging the scores of the last 5 rounds, subtracting 52 (the course scratch score), then multiplying by 0.8. This number is rounded to the nearest whole number to make the stroke adjustment.
Basically, you get 80% of your average strokes above scratch (52).
