Question by birdbayboy: In Yahoo sports I entered my last 20 golf scores in order to get handicap.?
What I was given was a “handicap rating”. This is not the same and Yahoo could not answer my question re: how this compared to “handicap”. i.e. my 10 lowest of the last 20 scores avg. 84 which would be approx. 12 handicap. The “handicap rating” is 54.9 !!!! Anyone know what the h__l this is???????????

Do you play a par 3 course or a course that is say a course that is not a par 72.

This is how the NCGA does handicaps and index’s:

A handicap differential is the difference between the adjusted gross score and the NCGA/USGA Course Rating, multiplying the difference by 113, dividing the results figure by the NCGA/USGA Slope Rating and rounding off to the nearest tenth. The following is an example for a course with a 71.5 Course Rating and a 130 Slope Rating.

Adjusted Gross Score 95
Course Rating 71.5
Difference 23.5
Handicap Differential 113 x 23.5 divided by 130 = 20.4

The value 113 in the above formula is the national standard for Slope Ratings and is used to weigh differentials.
INDEX Formula

Lowest 10 of Last 20 Differentials. The INDEX is computed from the lowest 10 of the player’s last 20 rounds as follows:

Total of 10 lowest differentials 147.9
Total averaged 14.79
Total multiplied by 96% 14.19
Delete all numbers after the tenths digit 14.1
NCGA/USGA index is 14.1

If you have fewer than 20 differentials available:

Available Used
1-4 No INDEX issued
5 or 6 Lowest 1
7 or 8 Lowest 2
9 or 10 Lowest 3
11 or 12 Lowest 4
13 or 14 Lowest 5
15 or 16 Lowest 6
17 Lowest 7
18 Lowest 8
19 Lowest 9

Question by tlozon1999: I am having trouble getting yahoo fantasy sports to display?
I can get on the league page, but when I try to access my team, it just comes up as a blank screen. It says the page is done loading, but there are errors! It does this with all forms of fantasy sports, including football, baseball, golf, and nascar. However, if I use a browser other than Internet Explorer, I can get the teams to show up correctly. I have tried everything, from rebooting my computer, to installing a newer version of Internet Explorer, and nothing seems to work! Also, it will not even let me change my format to allow me to go back to using the old style for yahoo fantasy sports! Any help would be greatly appreciated! And again, thanks for your help!

Question by David: Why doesn’t Yahoo! provide a fantasy sports game for the Tour de France?
The reason being is that Yahoo! already supports fantasy sports games for golf, hockey, and auto racing — it doesn’t seem fair that something as large as the Tour de France is left out.

Best answer:

Answer by James B
Yeah I agree that they should have it for anything that can be considered a sport. But I guess that they have to draw the line somewhere. But the others have more games/matches/contests to compete in and the Tour de France is shorter and would probably be harder to score.
Try contacting someone in charge at Yahoo, and maybe you can ask them to set one up.
Good Luck!
