On the 2nd of November 2020, a new handicapping system WHS will be introduced into the UK to replace our existing system CONGU.

The intention is for a system which will be universal - there are several different systems used throughout the world and they are all amalgamating.

It was the Club’s intention to hold some seminars at the Clubhouse, but that is not possible with the COVID-19 restrictions.

England Golf have now started their "KNOW THE SCORE" education program which assists all golfers to understand the details of the WHS. This is generally a sequence of links to posters and videos.

What is the World Handicap System?

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

The WHS incorporate 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 2nd 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.

Why was WHS created and How does the WHS work?

For golfers in England, calculating a new handicap Index will be front of mind when adopting the WHS. The process will begin in the same way throughout the world - by accurately measuring a player's golfing ability.

From this, they will be provided with an initial Handicap Index. After a player has achieved 20 scores, a "fully developed" Handicap Index can be calculated to provide the most accurate representation of a player's ability.

To ensure a player has only one handicap Index, the golfer will nominate a home club.

Understanding how Course & Slope Rating works

Golf Course Rating will be used to measure the playing difficulty of a golf course. It measures how many strokes a Scratch Golfer (a player who can play to a Course Handicap of zero on all rated golf courses) should take on any given course.

The rating does this by assessing two main types of challenges which, when combined, result in a common base from which to compare players' abilities.

• The playing length of the course

• The obstacles that a player will encounter (e.g. size of green and hazards)
