How does the WHS make golf more inclusive and accessible?
Traditional and historical routes to obtain handicaps have required players to join a golf club but the WHS welcomes and encourages everyone to play golf, regardless of whether you are a club member or not. By also recognising the changes to our everyday lives and the need to have a more adaptable system that is suited to everybody’s needs, the WHS now accommodates recreational, competitive, 9-Hole scores and 18-Hole scores when calculating handicaps. Coupled with an increased maximum Handicap Index of 54.0, WHS removes numerous barriers to play the game and obtain a handicap.
