World Handicapping Sytem (W.H.S)

What is the World Handicap System?

FROM 2nd NOVEMBER YOUR CLUB HANDICAP WILL BE REPLACED BY the WORLD HANDICAPPING SYTEM

The new World Handicap System (WHS) is designed to be more inclusive, accessible and to make golf easier to understand for all.

The WHS incorporates the Rules of Handicapping and the Course Rating System, (a consistent method to calculate a golf courses difficulty), to successfully determine a golfer’s Handicap Index.

The system, which comes into effect on 2 November 2020 will replace the six different systems currently used by over 15 million golfers, in more than 80 countries, to unify all golfers across the world.

We strongly advise all members to look at the  full guidance on how it works and how it will effect you from ENGLAND GOLF  by CLICKING HERE

 

In England the system will be managed and maintauined through  ENGLAND GOLF.

In order to operate the World handicapping Sytem the club are required to share some of the data we collected from you when you joined the club with ENGLAND GOLF.

They have issued  a PRIVACY NOTICE detailing exactly how the data we share with them will be used.
