Why does my Arccos Handicap not match my GHIN handicap? Follow
Arccos uses Strokes Gained to calculate your handicap which we believe is a more accurate reflection.
Strokes Gained takes into account pin positions and actual tee spot which USGA handicap does not. So for example a par 3 that is playing 20 yards longer that day based on tee positions and pin positions is correctly accounted for in Arccos.
