I´m new here. And I think it´s wonderful. But there is one basic issue I can´t figure out. Even searching the forum or using google did not help.

Where do I enter my initial handicap while creating or updating my profile?

The hadnicap is calculated using the USGA formula when you enter your scores. You can't enter an initial handicap.

If you're inquiring about the European handicapping system... my understanding is that the fine folks at oob are working on it, but it hasn't been completed yet.

Hey Schulz_O, there is no option to enter a starting handicap on oob. The best option would be to enter your last 20 full rounds of golf (if you have those available) to have an up-to-date handicap calculation. Then you can begin entering every score on oobgolf from this point on and have an accurate handicap index.

You wouldn't even have to enter details such as fairways, putts, etc. for you last 20 rounds; just make it simple by entering the total round score only.

If somebody else knows a better option, feel free to chime in.
