Duncs,

You could use a User-Defined Function. The code below will be in the workbook that I will send you,
used like:

=Callaway($B$3:$B$20,C3:C20,$B$1)

Where
$B$3:$B$20 has pars for each of the 18 holes
C3:C20 has the golfer's actual scores
$B$1 has the overal par for the course

The formula can be copied to the right for additional players.

Bernie,

I am extremely grateful to you. I have noticed one small problem
though, and I'd appreciate your input on this.

I have the following par's enterered in column B - 5, 4, 4, 5, 3, 5,
4, 3, 4, 4, 3, 4, 5, 4, 3, 4, 5, 3
Along with the following scores in column C - 6, 6, 6, 10, 5, 7, 5, 4,
5, 7, 3, 6, 7, 6, 7, 6, 8, 4

These scores total, as far as I can count, 108. However, the
spreadsheet you've provided, totals it as 107.

If I copy and paste the entire column into the next clear column in
the spreadsheet, it does indeed total 108.

Also, if I can ask about the formulas...

In the "Raw Score" row, you have the following formula in C21:

{=SUM(IF(C3:C202*B3:B20,2*B3:B20,C3:C20))}

I'm guessing, from reading the formula, that this is saying:

If the Sum of the values in the range C3:C20 (Golfer One) is greater
than the sum of double the values in the range B3:B20 (hole par's),
then the cell C21 gets the value of double B3:B20 (the hole par's)
else, it get the value of the sum of C3:C20 (the hole scores). Is
this right?

Where I am getting confused is with the formula in cell D21.

In D21, you have the formula:

{=SUM(IF(D3:D202*C3:C20,2*C3:C20,D3:D20))}

From this, I believe it is saying...

The Sum of the values in the range D3:D20 (Golfer Two) is greater than
the sum of double the values in the range C3:C20 (Golfer One), then
the cell D21 gets the value of double C3:C20 (Golfer One scores) else,
it get the value of the sum of D3:D20 (Golfer Two scores). Is this
right?


Many thanks for your help

Duncan

Duncan,

The rules of the Callaway system is that the highest score that can count against the golfer is
twice the hole's par. So, if you shoot 10 on a par 4, your score is 8 for that hole - thus the
formula. So, in your example, on the 15th hole, the 7 on a par 3 only counts as 6.

See

http://golf.about.com/od/handicaps/l/blcallawaysys.htm

for the scoring system that I implemented.

As for the raw score, I made a mistake, forgetting to use absolute references. Instead of :

=SUM(IF(C3:C202*B3:B20,2*B3:B20,C3:C20))

I should have used

=SUM(IF(C3:C202*$B$3:$B$20,2*$B$3:$B$20,C3:C20))

entered with Ctrl-Shift-Enter. Then it will work correctly when copied to the right.

Note that I didn't make that mistake in the function usage. This is correct, and can be copied.

=Callaway($B$3:$B$20,C3:C20,$B$1)

Sorry about that...

Hi i have found this site while trying to down load a copy of the system can any one e-mail me this spread sheet?
Thanks

Bernie,

I have another problem with the spreadsheet you sent, that I hope you
can help with.

As mentioned in a previous post, I have the following Par's entered in
Column B: 5, 4, 4, 5, 3, 5, 4, 3, 4, 4, 3, 4, 5, 4, 3, 4, 5, 3

I now have the following scores in Column C: 10, 8, 8, 10, 6, 10, 8,
6, 8, 8, 6, 8, 10, 8, 6, 8, 10, 6

This give a raw score of 144, and a Callaway Score of 75. However, I
think this score should be 86.

If I then trace through the code for the Callaway function, I find
that the scores passed through are 1 less than the scores on the
spreadsheet. So, it is actually using the values, in HoleScores, of
9, 7, 7, 9, 5, 9, 7, 5, 7, 7, 5, 7, 9, 7, 5, 7, 9, 5.

Can you advise?

I've been using the Callaway s/s that you supplied, and all seems to
be well. However...

Golfer 1 has the following scores: 5, 7, 9, 9, 5, 8, 8, 7, 8, 8, 6, 6,
8, 6, 6, 6, 9, 8
When I total these individually, I get a total of 129. When it gets
totalled in the s/s, I get the total of 125.

The hole pars are = 5, 4, 4, 5, 3, 5, 4, 3, 4, 4, 3, 4, 5, 4, 3, 4, 5,
3
This gives a douoble par total of = 144

As you can see, the hole score is not greater than double the par, so
the raw score should be calculated as 129 and not 125 as it is
showing.

Can you help?

can i ask for some help,i know the thread is old but maybe you can still help me is it applicable with the handicap and rules in this link http://www.leaderboard.com/callaway.htm


i found a file in the internet named callaway_dev.xls.
in some case it is correct but not all the time,maybe it is not updated,
please help me i need to make an excel file that can compute base on the link,thanks in advance buddies...

I have created a spreadsheet using VBA that will allow to to:
1) enter courses and course info,
2) Enter players and their scores, usually at the end of the tournament,
3) Let you select which holes to Not use in calculating the Callaway Handicap, 4) Then Calculates all scores and standings, then copies the standings to a new workbook.
5) Then all results can be deleted and a new tournament can be started, but golf course info will remain.

Email me for copies

Hi Duncs,

I'd be happy to help you with the Callaway Handicap System in Excel. The Callaway Handicap System is a method of calculating a golfer's handicap based on their performance in a single round of golf. It's a great way to level the playing field in a tournament or outing where golfers have different skill levels.

To create a Callaway Handicap System in Excel, you can follow these steps:

1. Open a new Excel workbook and create a table with the following columns: Player Name, Gross Score, Adjusted Score, and Handicap.
2. Enter the names of the players in the first column.
3. In the Gross Score column, enter the score that each player shot in the round of golf.
4. Use the following formula to calculate the Adjusted Score for each player: Adjusted Score = Gross Score - (Par + 2) * (Number of Holes Played / 18)
   For example, if a player shot a 90 on a course with a par of 72 and played all 18 holes, their Adjusted Score would be 90 - (72 + 2) * (18 / 18) = 16.
5. Enter the Adjusted Score for each player in the third column.
6. Use the following formula to calculate the Handicap for each player: Handicap = (Adjusted Score - 72) * 0.8
   For example, if a player's Adjusted Score was 16, their Handicap would be (16 - 72) * 0.8 = -44.8. In this case, the player would receive a handicap of 45 strokes.
7. Format the table as desired and save the workbook.

I hope this helps you create a Callaway Handicap System in Excel. Let me know if you have any questions or need further assistance.
