Course.handicap() is a class method. I.e., not specific to any course instance. And you will have fewer problems if the class name matches the file name. E.g. in player.rb (all lower case). class Player < ActiveRecord::Base ... What is the class name in course.rb? Is it also Model? It should be Course.
