I went from a 10 last year to currently a 4.9 according to 18 birdies, I’m always trying to break 80

The formula is the formula.
It is the 8 best “differential” multiplied by a “fraction.”
So it generates an “index” that you apply to different courses and tees.
A 2.4 could be 6 from the tips if the course rating and slope dictate it.
Also, it only lets you go up 3, then soft cap. Up 5 in a year goes to hard cap.
Keeps people from putting in 20 95s a week before member guest to raise index.
I would think grint and 18 birdies would at least use the same formula as GHIN.

Meh I don’t think it’s perfect but it uses the same formula as GHIN so I imagine it’s pretty close
They take your last 20 rounds and calculate your handicap based off your best 8 just like GHIN.
I think the difference is GHIN won’t include a low round that is a certain number better than your handicap and 18 birdies will. So if you shoot a really great round (like your 67), 18 birdies will give you a lower handicap than GHIN
