If the maximun handicap for men is 28...

If the maximum handicap for men is 28 then why does Golfshake award handicaps higher than this?

Junior and lady golfers can have handicaps higher than 28.

Yes I know they can but my question was about men. They can have an official maximum handicap of 28 but on Golfshake they can have a handicap of 36. I just wondered why.

I Beth we are an online community based site so whilst we provide the standards, UK based, ie max 28 and 36 for men and women respectively we also provide:

 - 36 - beginners (at the request of several societies

 - 54 - Juniors

 - 54 - registered blind

also worth noting the above is based on UK and some European countries allow handicaps a lot higher and the US go above 30
