World Handicap System Information

The new World Handicap System has been designed to make golf more modern, fun and inclusive. The R&A and the USGA have created nine videos that capture this and break down each key change in a simple to understand manner.

Please find all the videos below.

The videos work best as a sequence and we have put them in an order which we think will make the best sense for you. Please note that whilst the videos are listed separately for ease of reference, all the videos will play automatically in the same window as a ‘playlist’. So if you have time to watch them all at once, you can sit back and relax!

We hope these resources will help you understand the changes to the handicap system. If there are any remaining questions, both the Men’s and Ladies’ Comps Committees will be happy to help.

Happy golfing!
