RULES PRIMER
WHS: New Handicap Rules
for Golfers in Minnesota
Here are 10 things to know about the new
World Handicap System. * BY W.P. RYAN *
Y
ou may have heard about the new World Handicap System,
a collaboration between the USGA, the R&A and the world's
six handicapping authorities to unify the golf world under
one system. It's great news for traveling golfers who can now port
their Handicap Indexes from country to country and post acceptable
scores for handicap purposes everywhere they play.
It also heralds the introduction of new handicap rules for golfers
in Minnesota. Here's what you need to know:
1 The WHS is more responsive, so your Handicap Index may
change slightly after Jan. 1. The average of your best eight scores
from your most recent 20 will be used, versus the old formula of
10-of-20 scores × .96.
2 Par is significantly more important now. Your Course Handicap
represents the number of strokes needed to play to par. If you play
with other golfers from the same tees with the same par, no adjustment
is needed. If you are competing from tees with different pars,
the player competing from the tees with the higher par must add
the difference to their Course Handicap.
3 Your Handicap Index will update daily if you submit a score
the previous day. Safeguards in the new system will limit extreme
changes in your index.
4 Net Double Bogey is the maximum score any player can take
on a hole: NDB = par + 2 strokes + any handicap strokes.
5 Fifty-four is the number of holes needed to establish a
Handicap Index (any combination of 9 and 18-hole scores will do).
It's also the maximum Handicap Index (54.0) for all golfers regardless
of gender.
6 Your Handicap Index will be interchangeable for both 9-hole
and 18-hole play (9-hole Handicap Indexes " N " are no longer necessary
and have been phased out under the WHS).
7 Playing Conditions Calculation: when abnormal course or
weather conditions affect scores, an automatic adjustment (the
PCC) will be made to better reflect a player's actual performance.
8 Course Handicap Calculation represents the number of
strokes received in relation to the par of the tees being played,
thus: Course Handicap = Handicap Index × (Slope Rating÷113) +
(Course Rating - Par).
9 Playing Handicap Calculation represents the number of
strokes a player receives in a competition, thus:
Playing Handicap = Course Handicap × Handicap Allowance.
10 The distinction between a Course Handicap and a Playing
Handicap serves two specific purposes under the new Rules of
Handicapping:
