What’s a Golf Handicap ?

 

The handicap is a number assigned to a golfer defining their proficiency. Its function is to give players of all standards an equal chance of victory.

In strokeplay the handicap is taken from a player’s total gross score to give their nett score.

In matchplay the handicap determines how many shots a player will either give to, or receive from, an opponent.

You need a handicap to participate in club or inter-club competitions. Some golf courses require visitors to produce a card confirming they are in possession of a recognised handicap.
