Hindhead Golf Club
World Handicap System
The World Handicap System (WHS) will be introduced on 2 November 2020.
This will mean that your handicap will be calculated differently and your current handicap could change.
This page will introduce WHS to you over a period of weeks leading up to the launch of WHS. The page will be supplemented by information on a dedicated noticeboard at the Club and by regular communication.
England Golf have created an educational page for golfers - www.englandgolf.org/whs/golfers/
