RCGA Handicap Manual
Within the RCGA Handicap calculation process, the ESC is implemented as a limit to the number of strokes "above par" for determining a players handicap. This limit will define the maximum per-hole, based on the par score for the hole, rather than providing the same maximum score for all holes on a course.
The ESC for a player is determined on per "course handicap" basis as calculated for each player, and results in the following ESC values:
| Course Handicap | Maximum Number on any Hole |
|---|---|
| 0 or + | 1 over par |
| 1 through 18 | 2 over par |
| 19 through 32 | 3 over par |
| 33 and over | 4 over par |
