Golf Podcast 119: Decoding Slope and Course Ratings

Slope rating, we’ve all seen the numbers on our scorecards, but what does it all really mean, and more importantly, why should we care?

In this episode of The Golf Podcast hosts Frank & Mike will help decode the numbers of both slope and course rating to show you how to tell which courses will play easier, and harder than average.  In this show we’ll also dive into how you can best set expectations for your score as we move up and down the “sliding scale” that is slope rating.

In this Show You Will Learn:

• What course and slope rating mean and how the two are different.
• Why slope rating operates on a “sliding scale” and how to tell if the course you are playing is harder than average.
• How to set proper expectations for your score by using slope rating as a reference point.
• Plus much more.
