Tapping on the **Chart button** will open a `gsSlope` chart.

* Note: The purpose of the `gsSlope` chart is to convert a golfer's `gsIndex` to a handicap. Rather than consulting the charts/ books at the course, you have the data here in your mobile device. Scroll down to find the course's `gsSlope`, the number to the right is the handicap based on the golfer's `gsIndex`.
* Example: For a player with a `gsIndex` of 12.1 who plays a course with a `gsSlope` of 61 will have a handicap of 7.
