Overview

The World Handicap System (WHS) provides a consistent measure of a golfer's potential ability. It allows players of different skill levels to compete fairly on any course.

Pro Tips

Always use your Adjusted Gross Score (maximum score per hole is Net Double Bogey).
The Course Rating is what a scratch golfer (0 handicap) would expect to shoot.
The Slope Rating measures the relative difficulty for a bogey golfer compared to a scratch golfer.

"A 'Scratch Golfer' has a handicap of 0, while a 'Bogey Golfer' typically has a handicap of around 20."
"Your handicap is not your average score; it represents your potential on a good day."
