The handicap formula is actually extremely complicated. Its based on your score for the best ten of your last twenty rounds. Each score is adjusted for the slope and rating of the course that you posted the score for.
Start with your lowest ten scores of the last 20 rounds you played. For each, subtract from that the course rating. Multiply the result by 113 (the average slope of all rated courses). Divide that by the slope of the course you played. That gives you the “differential”
Average the differentials and multiply by .96. Viola! You have your handicap.
The best thing to do is to join one of the free handicapping services, enter your scores and let them do the math. You’ll get an official handicap that you can use for tournaments and such.

The handicapping forumula is very complex. The best option, if you are just courious, is to use a free on-line handicap calculator. I’ve provided a link below for your enjoyment.
Have fun!

Adjusted Gross Score – USGA Course Rating: 95 – 71.5 = 23.5
Difference x Standard Slope: 23.5 x 113 = 2655.5
Result / USGA Slope Rating: 2655.5 / 125 = 21.24
Handicap Differential (rounded): 21.2

Or you could simply play in a couple of competitions were it would be calculated for you eventually.

Good Luck!

There are many handicap calculators on the internet, but none of them will give you an official handicap that you can use in competition. A USGA Handicap Index is issued through licensed golf clubs that follow all the procedures of the established USGA Handicap System™. These are usually at the club where you play. As a member of the club they will probably keep your handicap for you.
