New World Handicapping System

Golf’s New World Handicap System

There are many changes to the system. An overview video from Golf Canada.

For most golfers the only change you will notice is the maximum stroke per hole. Your adjusted score to be recorded, the maximum for any hole is a double net bogey. See video.

For example if your handicap was 18 for a golf course you would get 1 stroke on every hole for your net. Therefore your maximum on every hole would be 3 strokes (1 for your net and 2 for the maximum NET bogey).

36 handicap would be 4 strokes on every hole.
