New World Handicap System 2020

It is fun to see the driving ranges and golf courses filling up again. Last year we had several major rule changes that simplified rules and speed up play. I think they did a great job getting the word out and the new rules all seem to be popular. This year we have a brand-new worldwide handicap system in place. Six different bodies came together to merge rules and get the world on the same system with the goal of making all rounds portable. The main changes include a net double bogie for everyone, daily revisions, fewer rounds used to calculate, highly recommended input the day of play so weather can be taken into account. If you have never had an official handicap you should jump on board!
