Handicap Calculation

Is anyone elses handicap calc way off? Garmin has me at 18.4, but golf england and Golfshake has me at 13.4. Something is surely wrong with garmins calculations.

You need to manually update your watch handicap whenever the Golf England one gets updated. There's no automatic mechanism for syncing the watch with the various country managed handicap databases. for that to work, your watch would need to have access to the login credentials to your handicap site

I have the same problem. Garmin does use a 'Garmin' handicap, but no option to select the 'Qualifying Rounds' or to exclude rounds from the handicap calculation.
The WHS handicap calculation is fairly straightforward and I shouldn't be too difficult to mimic it to a fairly accurate level.

Yes same issue. I'm about 5 over my average for the last 10 rounds. I can't work it out.

The handicap is being calculated based on last 20 rounds, or at least should be.

I'm not totally convinced that Garmin uses whs, and if they don't it's just another ting on the list
