WHS CHANGES

 

Changes are happening!

In Autumn 2020 changes will be made to the way players handicaps are calculated.

The World Handicap System is expected to launch in November 2020. It is designed to welcome more players, to make golf easier to understand and to give all golfers a handicap which is portable all around the globe.

Saltburn Golf Club is taking a lead in ensuring that we are ready for these changes. Find out what this means for you!

To make the game more enjoyable, the new system will include:

  • Course rating and slope rating. Find full details here.

  • Minimum number of scores to obtain a handicap

  • Competitive and recreational scores to count for handicap

  • Handicaps will be calculated from an average of recent scores

  • Maximum handicap of 54

  • Abnormal course and weather conditions adjustments
