Putting Handicap
Like GHIN,
for the green.
From your Combines · Lower is better · Zero is scratch
Lower is better. Zero is scratch. Plus is elite.
Putting Handicap
One number, built over time.
One number.
Two-second read.
Every golfer knows their handicap. Two seconds to read. Universally understood. Putting has never had one — until now.
The Woosh Putting Handicap is a single number derived from your Combines over time. Lower is better. Zero is scratch. Plus is elite. Twenty-plus is improvement-coachable.
Your full-round handicap tells you you're a 9. Your Putting Handicap tells you whether you're a 9 because of your putting or in spite of it. Most golfers are a different number than they think.
Track yours over time. Show your coach what you can actually do — not what you remember doing.
Built like a
real handicap.
Three Combines for a provisional number, marked with a P. Five for an established one. From there — same logic as GHIN, best scores over time, math simple on purpose.
The formula
x̄ = average of your best 5 scores
from your last 10 Combines
01
Run Combines
Each Combine is 18 standardized putts, scored 0–100. Three gets you a provisional handicap. Five makes it official.
02
Best 5 of 10
From your most recent 10 Combines, only your top 5 scores count. Bad days don't define you — your ceiling does.
03
90 minus the average
Average those 5, subtract from 90. Zero is scratch. Plus is elite. The math stays simple so the number stays honest.

Honestly
What it doesn't do.
The handicap doesn't update on a single great session — that's the point. Best 5 of last 10, established at five Combines, won't move much on a hot Tuesday. If you want a number that flatters you, this isn't it. If you want one that holds up when a coach asks “what are you actually putting?” — this is the one.
