How is the WHS an improvement on what was there previously?
Whilst having a handicap to determine your level of playing ability is not new to golf, the WHS delivers an improved handicap system compared to the previous ones used, as it provides a consistent method of measuring skill-level and everybody’s handicaps can now be easily portable from course-to-course and country-to-country.
In short, the WHS has created a handicapping method that is adaptable, easy to use and enables players of all abilities to play and compete on a fair and equal basis.
