New Golf Handicap System (Effective from 1st April 2024)
This update introduces a new formula for calculating your handicap index. The aim is to provide a fairer assessment of a player's ability across different courses.
Handicap Calculation:
The formula to calculate your new handicap is as follows:
Handicap Index x (Slope Rating / 113) + (Course Rating – Par)
- Handicap Index: Your current handicap index.
- Slope Rating: The difficulty rating of the course for a bogey golfer relative to the scratch player.
- Course Rating: The expected score for a scratch golfer under normal playing conditions.
- Par: The standard score for the course.
