How scoring factor works

To set up your scoring factor, start by logging into your account on chronogolf

Once logged in, on your dashboard, select scoring factor, once on the page, select “activate”

This will let you set your most recent scoring factor or you can go back. To a past date and set it to  a scoring factor you have once used. , or if you do not have one yet, you can select “ I don’t have a scoring factor” If you are new to golf and have never used a scoring system before.

Once set, you can now begin to enter a score

By selecting start, you will be directed to the page to enter scores

By hitting New score you can select the date you played and then use the search bar under “Course played” to find the course where you played your round. You can then select the number of holes you played, the tee box where you played from, and then enter your score at the bottom and then hit save.

Please note the chronogolf Scoring Factor is not a mirror of the proprietary and patented USGA or Golf Canada’s handicap formula. If you are looking for an official handicap, we recommend using Golf Canada or USGA’s scoring centre. Chronogolf provides a free scoring factor, which is based on an average of your best 10 out of your last 20 scores, multiplied by the golf course’s difficulty factor. The difficulty factor is entered by the golf course in the software settings. 9 hole rounds are taken into consideration in our scoring factor only if another 9 hole round can be matched in a front/back pair.
