Wow, a +7? That’s fantastic! It really puts him in the upper echelon of pro golfers. How is that calculated though?

Great question, laura21! Rahm’s handicap is calculated based on his best 20 rounds of golf over a specified period. Performance in recent tournaments affects his score, which brings it down if he plays well.

I think comparing him to other pros is interesting. Many top players hover around the same handicap. It’s amazing how consistent those scores can be across the board.

Absolutely, smithbobby! But remember, even small fluctuations in their performance can lead to changes in their handicap. Rahm’s recent win definitely works in his favor!

Interesting! Does anyone know how frequently they update the handicap? I assumed it was more dynamic.

It’s updated regularly, rochafaith, usually every 14 days! So if Rahm plays better, his handicap can reflect those changes quite quickly.

9

That makes sense! The more he’s playing, the more chances he has to improve his score.

10

Indeed! And to think, there’s some debate among players about the fairness of handicaps amongst such elite golfers!

11

I wonder how many pros have similar handicaps compared to Rahm? Maybe it’s not as competitive as it seems. Anyone looked into this?

12

Good point, marcus48. Some players like Rory McIlroy and Justin Thomas are close in handicaps too. It’s like a high-stakes game of musical chairs!

13

Haha, annajones, true! But I think each player’s style affects their handicap outcomes. Rahm’s aggressive play often rewards him with low scores.

14

That’s a good observation, conniestone! Plus, there’s a mental game at play. Rahm has a strong mindset when competing—it certainly makes a difference.

15

For sure! And speaking of mindset, do you think Rahm gets stressed when he sees his handicap change?

Haha, maybe! But I bet he just brushes it off when he plays like he has been recently. A few wins, and his confidence is sky-high!

17

True! It’s all about the bigger picture for him. His performances lately certainly suggest he’s in top form!

I’ve been following Jon Rahm’s game, and his handicap is incredibly low! It makes you realize how far off most amateurs are from the pros. Understanding how that handicap affects us is key to improving our own games.

Absolutely! I think comparing ourselves to professional players like Rahm can be motivating, but we should focus on gradual improvements instead of perfection.

That’s true! A good strategy is to calculate your own handicap based on your recent scores. It helps you see where you stand and set realistic goals for your game. Sometimes, just aiming to improve by a single stroke can be a significant win!
