The new Worldwide Handicap System became live in Spain on 8th June and all players with Federation Handicaps had their new handicaps calculated based on the average of the best 8 scores from the last twenty competitions.
The Master Scoreboard that we use for our Society, has been updated with the new handicaps and will apply similar calculations as the WHS for our members. As Master Scoreboard cannot link to the WH System, we are in discussion with Luis how we can manage our Society’s Handicap Qualifying Competitions to enable our members to have some of their cards accepted for their Worldwide Handicap.
Some highlights of the System are:
· Based on last 20 Qualifying Competitions (the next competition becomes the 20th and the first is dropped).
· Average of the best 8 scores sets the new handicap
· No score on any hole is recorded as a net double bogey
· Individual Stableford Competitions (playing handicaps 95%)
· Handicap Qualifying Competitions must be played off the measured course (yellow, blue, red)
· All members are allowed to enter one extra day score per month
