Hole Difficulty  - Stroke Index (Hole Handicap #)

The SI is also known as the Hole Handicap.  The chart below shows the comparison of Hole Difficulty as experienced by Gaffers and the official Stroke Index values for the current season.  Be aware that Stroke Index/ Handicap that is published, represents the 'official view' of hole difficulty.  Holes are ranked in "9"s with the most difficult being the lowest number.   Odd SIs (1-17) are assigned to the "9" which contains the most difficult hole.  Even SIs (2-18) are assigned to the other "9"
