Question: What is TrackMan Handicap?
Answer: TrackMan Handicap is a measure of your playing ability in Virtual Golf. The TrackMan Handicap is inspired by the new global rules (WHS), where players are adjusted up/down based on a subset of their latest rounds. If you are logged in with a TrackMan account, you will receive a TrackMan Handicap after your first round of Virtual Golf. From that point onwards, your TrackMan Handicap is automatically updated after each round of Virtual Golf.
Question: How do I get my TrackMan Handicap?
Answer: If you are logged in, and if the round has been played with a gimme distance of less 2.5 m / 8 feet, you will receive a TrackMan Handicap after your first round of Virtual Golf. If these conditions have not been fulfilled, your score will not count towards your TrackMan Handicap. All scores from private rounds and tournament rounds are included in the calculation of TrackMan Handicap.
Question: How is TrackMan Handicap adjusted?
Answer: TrackMan Handicap is inspired by the new global rules (WHS), where players are adjusted up/down based on a subset of their latest rounds. TrackMan automatically adjusts your handicap after each round based on your scores. If you post a score that is significantly better than your TrackMan Handicap, TrackMan might adjust your TrackMan Handicap more than the average of the subset of your latest rounds to make sure that your playing ability is reflected in the TrackMan Handicap.
Question: Where can I find my new TrackMan Handicap?
Answer: You can find your TrackMan Handicap in TPS when you are logged in. It will soon also be available in the TrackMan Golf app.
Question: I don’t think my TrackMan Handicap reflects my playing ability. Can I change it myself?
Answer: You cannot make manual changes to the TrackMan Handicap. The only way to affect your Handicap is by playing more rounds. The system will then automatically update your Handicap.
Question: I sometimes use another handicap indoor. Can I override the TrackMan Handicap with another number?
Answer: No, it is not possible to override the TrackMan Handicap. The only way to affect the Handicap is by playing more rounds. The system will then automatically update your Handicap.
