Simple handicap calculator for social stableford game

[MartynB]

Searched past threads and online also but nothing fitting the need. 4 of us play different courses each week, none are members of anywhere and so don't have an official handicap.

To avoid squabbling and help the banter along I could do with an easy way to adjust handicaps each week.

We use stableford and I keep score on golfshot but I don't want the hassle of inputting everyone's score each week unless I have to. Golfshot works my handicap out but not the other 3.

Would taking an average of say last our 3 or maybe 5 round points and dividing it by two then adding/subtracting the difference to 18 to our current handicap to get a new one be a good fit do we think?

eg, I'm 18, last 3 rounds I scored 37+32+33=102/3=17

That's 1 below my handicap so I put it up to 19

Or is there a better way?

Or am I talking cobblers?

Thanks for your help!

What we do although ours is bigger is the winner loses 2 shots the 2nd 1 shot,the bottom players gets 2 back and the 2nd bottom 1.

This seems to work as its hardly ever the same winner two games in a row
