What is a "handicap"?

A handicap in golf is a system used to adjust a player's score based on their skill level, allowing players of different abilities to compete fairly. It is a number that represents how many strokes above par a player is expected to shoot on average. A higher handicap indicates a less experienced or skilled golfer, while a lower handicap shows a more skilled player. When playing in a competition, a player's handicap is subtracted from their total score to determine their final score, making the game more balanced and enjoyable for all players.
