Why don't have handicap?

[Rudi Rodríguez]

I don't know why my hcp is -36 and in the golf club is 10? 10 is my real hcp. What i have to do?

A -36 is assigned in a tournament when shot recording isn't turned on. Also, if you are playing your first tournament without playing the Q School event, then there isn't a basis for a handicap until you play a few tournament rounds.

The tournament handicap and the handicap you see in TGC are not the same and are calculated separately.

Sorry, what is the Q school? I have to do something about it? Today I played a first round of the wells fargo. I need to do something more? O just play tours and wait...?

Frgive my ignorance on the subject
Thanks

The "Q School" is set up so a player can establish a handicap prior to playing tournaments. Not a big deal. At this point, just keep playing. Your handicap will catch up and kick in after a couple of tournaments.

As long as you have your shot recording turned on and it is working you will be good.

Ok! Thanks a lot!!!

Assuming your player nickname is Ruroji79, it looks like your handicap has changed to 0.0.

[Rudi Rodríguez]

But 0.0 is not hcp! I really don't have 0.0, is impossible!! what are they based on to put that handicap on? I don't get it! +23 and +20 in the wells fargo...

You still need to play five tournament rounds before you get an actual handicap.

Those are 5 tournament rounds that have to be played. Without playing the 5 Q School rounds you have to play 5 tournament rounds.

I have two rounds with the recordings working ... although I have actually played 4, the zurich and the fargo. But hey, three more rounds and I'll have a handicap. Thank you!
