Entertainment / Golf / Slope: (slope rating) the relative playing difficulty of a course for players who are not scratch golfers -- slope ratings are determined by teams of players/evaluators representing state or local golf associations -- the formula for slope rating is course bogey rating minus course rating times a set factor (of 5.381 for men, 4.24 for women), e.g., if course rating is 72 and bogey rating is 95 the slope for men would be 95 - 72, or 23 x 5.381 = (rounded to a whole number) 124
