HANDICAP CHANGES 2011

The changes to be implemented

"As promised by Golf Australia, we received information at the end of May about proposed changes to the Handicapping System. A series of discussion groups and forums with Clubs and Member Associations was held in March, in conjunction with a senior USGA official. It was decided that the complete USGA system was not appropriate for Australian large field net events. After an exhaustive analysis, and trialing of a range of different variations at diverse clubs across the country, it was decided that the following changes will commence on Wednesday, 21 September 2011:

*    Alter ‘Best 10 of 20’ to 'Best 8 of 20’.

*    Change Bonus for Excellence multiplier from 0.96 to 0.93.

*    Introduce an Anchor which will prevent a player’s handicap from increasing any more than 4 strokes beyond their best exact handicap from the previous 12 month rolling period.

*    Golf Link will cap the score that goes into a player’s handicap record at no more than the following amount over the course rating: - 50 – women, 40 – men.

 

Take note that the Golf Link system will be down from 1.00pm on Monday 19 September until Wednesday 21 September to implement these changes."
