The World Handicap System is coming.
The USGA and R&A have announced the key features of the updated handicap system, which is designed to provide golfers from all over the world with a consistent measure of their golfing ability, no matter where they are from or where they play.
Currently, there are 6 different handicap systems in use throughout the world: Golf Australia, the Council of National Golf Unions (CONGU) in Great Britain and Ireland, the European Golf Association (EGA), the South African Golf Association (SAGA), the Argentine Golf Association (AAG) and the USGA.
