# The 33 handicap golfer

A 33 handicap is modeled to shoot about 105 on a par 72, which is 34 strokes over the tour average of 71. On Broadie’s published split 22.1 of those strokes go in the long game, 6.8 in the short game and 5.1 on the greens. On a middle tee rated 70.6 with a slope of 125 a 33.0 index plays off 35.

## Key figures

- A 33 handicap is modeled to shoot about 105 on a par 72, 34 strokes over the tour average, split 22.1 long game, 6.8 short game and 5.1 putting.
- A 33 handicap carries a driver about 172 yards and a 7 iron about 108 yards on the handicap model.

## Scope

- The score and split come from the site’s benchmark model, which applies Broadie’s published shares to par plus the handicap; the course handicaps use the published formula on typical tee values, and the distances come from the handicap speed model.
