Purpose
A New Era in Golf Handicapping
A golf handicap is a numerical measure of a golfer’s playing ability. It levels the playing field by allowing competitors of different skill levels to play against each other on equal terms. In essence, it estimates how many strokes over par a golfer is likely to shoot—where a lower handicap indicates a stronger player.
For generations, golf handicapping has relied on traditional, static formulas—designed by hand and often limited in scope. While these systems have served the game well, they’ve never fully addressed the varied needs of individual golfers, clubs, leagues, or associations.
That’s where artificial intelligence comes in. A.I.-powered score prediction is transforming the game. By leveraging machine learning, we can now offer the most accurate, flexible, and objective approach to handicapping the sport has ever seen.
This site exists to show you how it works, why it matters, and how you can try it for yourself.
Honoring Tradition While Embracing Innovation
We understand—golf is a game steeped in tradition, and for many, that’s part of its charm. Handicomp respects the deep roots of the sport and the systems that have guided it for generations. At the same time, we also recognize that change is happening all around us—and golf is not immune.
A.I. and machine learning are already shaping the game in subtle but powerful ways. From the design of clubs, shafts, and balls, to how tee times are priced, lawns are maintained, and marketing messages are crafted—A.I. is enhancing nearly every aspect of the golf experience.
So why not handicapping? If A.I. can make your gear better, your course more efficient, and communications more relevant, it can also bring greater clarity, fairness, and precision to how we measure skill and track progress.
We’re not here to erase tradition—we’re here to build on it. A.I.-powered handicapping doesn’t replace the spirit of the game; it refines how we understand and enjoy it. That’s our belief, and it’s why we do what we do.
