Golf Handicap Tracking Using Excel is an independent software tool developed to assist golfers and golf leagues with score tracking, handicap calculations, reporting, communications, and league administration.

The World Handicap System may be revised, updated, or modified from time to time by the organizations responsible for its administration. Future changes to formulas, calculation methods, procedures, handicap requirements, or implementation guidelines may not be reflected within this workbook.
As a result, Handicap Index values calculated by this workbook may differ from those produced by future versions of official handicap systems implementing revised World Handicap System methodologies.
