With the brand new World Handicapping System (WHS) now extensively established, what are the definitions of the brand new golf terminology e.g Course Handicap?
The WHS Handicap Index relies on one of the best 8 scores out of your final 20 scorecards submitted with all golfers beginning on a Handicap Index of 36.0.
1. As you journey from membership to membership, utilizing completely different tees, your Handicap Index wiill be transformed right into a Course Handicap for the day.
e.g In case you are an 18.1 Handicapper and also you determine to play South Essex GC, off the Yellow Tees, your Course handicap can be 21.
2. Then, after your spherical, you’re required to enter your Gross scores into the TSG Handicapping System. Upon coming into your Gross scores, the system will ‘regulate’ them to the Most Rating allowed on every gap
e.g Gross Rating + 2 photographs + Handicap Allowance for that gap. That is calculated utilizing the Stroke Index on every gap.
In flip, your Adjusted Scores are then transformed to a Rating Differential through the use of the Slope & Score of the course performed.
For competitors functions, TSG limits the utmost Stableford allowance to a 36.0 Handicap e.g your Course Handicap won’t ever provide you with greater than 2.0 photographs per gap.
Lastly, as we proceed to replace all of the Slope & Scores at every course, on every tee, please notice, in case your course is just not listed in our database, members can click on on the ‘REQUEST TSG TO UPDATE SCORECARDS AT THIS COURSE‘ hyperlink.
The TSG staff will add the requested course particulars inside 24 hours.
