Adding a HANDICAP system like golf

I’d love to see UDisc come up with a handicap system similar to golf based on your last 20 UDisc rated rounds. This would open up the ability to “level the playing field” when playing with friends of different skill levels and allow for more competition and additional fun games.

This would also need UDisc to handicap the holes in each course from most difficult (#1 handicap) to easiest (#18 handicap) based on the scoring averages of each hole.

For example: my handicap is an average of 200 rating but my friend is a 160. We want to play a course and use handicaps. The the UDisc rating scale says a 200-rated round is -2 but a 160 is +3. Therefore, a simple way to do it (although not exactly like golf) is to give my friend a stroke on each of the five most difficult holes (handicap 1-5). Or you can have a more complex system similar to golf?

This would be awesome!
