The New World Handicap System: An Essential Guide
Beginning in January 2020, the new Rules of Handicapping will be introduced in the United States. Read on for five things you need to know about this new system, according to the USGA.
The Handicap Index Calculation is Changing
Your number will be based off your 8 best scores out of the past 20. This change will be minor, but you may see a change in your handicap index in January, even if you haven't played recently.
Your Course Handicap Will Change
Slope rating, course rating and par will now all be used to determine your course handicap. This will allow you to play from different sets of tees without any adjustment.
