How Putty uses your handicap

See how handicap informs insights and recommendations.

How Putty uses your handicap

Your handicap is a signal for how you typically score — not a live tournament index unless connected to an official body.

Where it shows up

  • Profile display
  • Context for AI recommendations and summaries
  • Personal progress framing in history

If scores and handicap disagree a lot, update the handicap or review whether practice rounds are mixed into the average you care about.
