1. Handicap Setup for this League is as follows...
Handicap  Regulars: 80  Subs: 80
Number of scores handicap based on: 10
Minimum number of scores needed before a handicap can be calculated: 1
# of Scores Discard Discard
Available Highest Lowest
 1  0  0
 2  1  0
 3  1  0
 4  2  0
 5  2  0
 6  3  0
 7  3  0
 8  4  0
 9  4  0
 10  4  0 <<Kelly (c) has 14 scores prior to event #3
    so the underlined parameters are used to determine
      which scores to use for handicapping.
2. The differentials for these scores are calculated...

Practice Score 49 34.5 118 13.9
Only the last 10 scores are considered for handicapping.
The equation for calculating a differential is ...
Diff = (Adjusted Gross Score  -  Rating)  x  (113 / Slope)
3. Use the differentials to calculate a handicap.
Out of the 10 available calculated differentials the
4 highest differentials are discarded (not used).
Differentials 'used' are added together...
11.6+13.4+12.5+6.4+14.1+11.2 = 69.2
Then divide by the total number used.
Pre-Handicap = 69.2 /  6 Pre-Handicap = 11.533
Kelly (c) is a regular player, so according to the
handicap setup the Handicap Percent is 80
Handicap = 11.533 x 80 Handicap =  9.22  (Digits after hundredth place are deleted)
Convert the handicap to a 'course' handicap using the slope of the course being played. (NN Cardinal - Front)
Handicap = Handicap x (Slope / 113)
Handicap =  9.22 x (113 / 113)
Handicap =  9.22
Final Handicap =  9.22
