One of the most common questions golfers will ask each other is, “What is your handicap?”
Under the World Handicap System (WHS™), the way in which a handicap is calculated will change slightly, and golfers will receive a new Handicap Index®.
A Handicap Index® is designed to represent your demonstrated ability. It is calculated by averaging the best eight score differentials out of the most recent twenty within your scoring record. Can be made up of both competition and general play scores.
By taking your best eight from his last twenty scores, your Handicap Index® is calculated as the average. If your record does not have twenty scores on it already, a modified calculation will be carried out to provide you with a Handicap Index®.
