Please be aware that the revisions to the WHS introduced in 2024 will be implemented with effect from 1st April 2024.

The main change applicable to members is in the way that the Course Handicap is calculated.

Course Handicap:

The Course Handicap calculation is to be changed to include (Course Rating – Par) as part of the formula, which now reads:

Course Handicap = (Handicap Index x Slope Rating / 113) + (Course Rating – Par)

This means Course Handicap and Handicap Score Aggregate are now aligned, so the shots assigned as part of Course Handicap are in line with the shots assigned for Handicaps.

Therefore, if the par is lower than the Course Rating, you will receive additional shots on your Course Handicap and if the par is higher, you will lose strokes.

The revised Course Handicaps will apply from that date to all competitions (including knockout competitions still to be completed) and general play.

The revised Course Handicap tables will be displayed on the notice boards and at the first tee.

They are as follows.

Gents White Mens White tees

Gente Yellow Men’s Yellow tee

Ladies Red Women’s Red

Ladies Yellow Women’s Yellow tee
