WHY IS MY HANDICAP A VERY LOW OR NEGATIVE NUMBER?
This is most likely a configuration issue on the course you’ve entered. Please check you have the correct rating and slope entered. The course rating is a decimal number usually close to the value of par. The course slope is an integer number usually above 113. After updating the course data, you will need to re-enter the rounds that were entered against that course.
WHY IS MY HANDICAP LOWER THAN MY AVERAGE SCORE?
Your handicap represents your scoring potential, not your scoring average. Your lowest rounds are used in your handicap calculation. In Simple Handicap, the rounds highlighted in green are the ones actively contributing to your handicap. For more information on exactly how many rounds are used in your handicap calculation, refer to this documentation.
ENTERING A 9-HOLE ROUND
9-hole rounds must be entered against the 9-hole par/rating/slope. Just like how par is different for 9-holes and 18-holes, the rating/slope are also different. If you use the 18-hole course data for a 9-hole round, it is likely that your handicap will be a very low or negative number.
Often times course scorecards only show the 18-hole rating/slope. A handy tool to find 9-hole course data is located here.

WHY ARE MY ROUNDS DIFFERENT COLORS?
Rounds highlighted in green are rounds being used to calculate your handicap. These rounds are your 8 best of your last 20 rounds. Rounds with no color (white) are in your last 20 rounds, but are not being used to calculate your handicap. Rounds highlighted in gray are outside of your last 20 rounds. These rounds are no longer considered when calculating your handicap. You can remove these rounds or keep them for reference.
