A handicap is how many strokes you need to get to par as many have said. But each course has a slope and course rating. Below is how it works:
By Differentials
A handicap differential is the difference between the adjusted gross score and the NCGA/USGA Course Rating, multiplying the difference by 113, dividing the results figure by the NCGA/USGA Slope Rating and rounding off to the nearest tenth. The following is an example for a course with a 71.5 Course Rating and a 130 Slope Rating.
Adjusted gross score 95
Course Rating 71.5
Difference 23.5
Handicap Differential 113 x 23.5 divided by 130 = 20.4
The value 113 in the above formula is the national standard for Slope Ratings and is used to weigh differentials.
INDEX Formula
Lowest 10 of Last 20 Differentials. The INDEX is computed from the lowest 10 of the player's last 20 rounds as follows:
Total of 10 lowest differentials 147.9
Total averaged 14.79
Total multiplied by 96% 14.19
Delete all numbers after the tenths digit 14.1
NCGA/USGA Handicap Index is 14.1
If you have fewer than 20 differentials available:
Available Used
1-4 No INDEX issued
5 or 6 Lowest 1
7 or 8 Lowest 2
9 or 10 Lowest 3
11 or 12 Lowest 4
13 or 14 Lowest 5
15 or 16 Lowest 6
17 Lowest 7
18 Lowest 8
19 Lowest 9

Yahoo golf has a calculator to help you with a handicap. I true handicap is based on your last 20 scores, they take the best and worst out. Then they average out the 10 best. Then they base it on the course rating of the courses you played. Bottom line it is how many strokes you need to shot even par

I figured my handicap was scratch. Every time I hit a shot I scratch my head

If you are in a wheel chair - that would be your handicap
