When we play stapleford we let him play off 28 an he does pretty good. I said he should be off 25 but he won't have it.

Whats he scoring with stableford format. That should be a good indication as its basically the format used to adjust stroke scores for handicapping purposes.

unofficial handicaps are very easy to work out, either manually or via an online tracker or something. Today's golfer offers a free tracker, which is quite good. Just input a few of his cards into that and it will give you an answer.

He has to remember though that your handicap isn't about his average score, but more to do with his potential. The fact he shot a round with 38 points suggests to me he is actually better than 28.
