Competition Handicaps
When it comes to handicap allowances for competition play under WHS not much has changed. Council of National Golf Unions (CONGU) has updated its guidance in the latest edition of its handbook, but confusion still exists for many players.
Handicap allowances and adjustments are set-out by the Committee in the Conditions of Competition.
