Reminder from the FLCC Rules & Handicap Committee:
The World Handicap System aims to provide golfers with plenty of opportunity to submit scores for handicap purposes, ensuring their Handicap Index is reflective of their demonstrated ability. The more acceptable scores a player submits, the more accurate their Handicap Index will be.
While many competitive and recreational formats of play may be acceptable, there are certain rounds that would not be eligible for handicap purposes. Examples include rounds played while being coached, playing alone or those played in scramble or alternate-shot formats.
By providing plenty of opportunity for golfers to submit acceptable scores for handicap purposes, the World Handicap System encourages golfers to play more often with others on an equitable basis. This helps create a fun and fair game of golf with anyone and anywhere.
