Discover the A.I. Golf Handicap Difference

There are several ways to calculate a golf handicap, including the World Handicap System™ (WHS™), HGHS, league-specific methods, quota systems, and emerging models like A.I.-driven handicapping. Some systems aim to reflect a golfer’s potential, while others focus on average past performance.

What sets A.I.-based handicapping apart is that it begins not with a calculation from past scores, but with a predicted score for your next round—providing a more dynamic and forward-looking approach.

This section defines each method, explains how it works, and offers comparisons to help you better understand the purpose, strengths, and limitations of each.

Types of Handicaps

Statistical Definitions

Not all golf handicaps are created the same. From the WHS™ and HGHS to league-based formulas, quota systems, and emerging A.I.-driven models, each method has its own purpose and approach. Some are designed to reflect your best potential, while others average your past performance.

Only A.I. begins with a score prediction, offering a more personalized and forward-looking way to assess your game.

Statistical Definitions

A.I.-powered golf handicapping relies on more than just scores—it’s built on a foundation of meaningful statistics that help measure and predict performance with greater clarity. Terms like accuracy, precision, and bias, along with standard deviation, absolute deviation, and average above net par, play a key role in shaping how predictions are made and evaluated.

If you're curious about what these terms mean and why they matter, this section breaks them down in simple, golfer-friendly language.

Testing Methods

To understand how A.I. handicapping stacks up against traditional methods, it's important to look at how predictions are tested. One of the primary techniques used is the lookback method—where the A.I. model is trained on a golfer’s past rounds and then asked to predict a future round that already happened.

This section outlines the key testing and comparison methods used to evaluate A.I. performance, helping you see how accurate it really is—and how it measures up to other systems.
