How do you figure a golfer handicapp

Hi this is my first time here. I have not played any golf in about ten years and am planning on dusting my clubs off and start again. My husband has started back playing again too. I was wondering how do you figure your handicap? Could someone please tell me? Thanks and I am glad I found this site. Janiebell22

Here in the UK the Ladies have a completely different way of working out there handicaps but the mens is easy.
Play 3 medal rounds and add the difference between your scores and the total "Standard Scratch Score" of the courses, divide by 3 and that is about your handicap.
The men's handicapping system takes a view that at worst you score two over par on each hole so have a maximun handicap of 28. I know the Ladies have both 36 and 36+, the 36+ means that they have not played to 36 yet.

Hope this helps.

I post up my handicap scores on Yahoo golf. All you have to do is post up your scores and they calculate it for you. Its called handicap tracker. Try this link: http://sports.yahoo.com/golf;_ylt=Ap...PmZGFZGoE5nYcB
