The introduction of the new World Handicap System, designed to establish single, common rules for handicap control and to provide a more consistent measure of the skill of players from different regions of the world, will be implemented as planned throughout 2020.
Learn about the most important issues related to this matter through a series of technical articles that break down the most relevant questions in order to offer golfers the most detailed information possible on how the handicap is calculated.
The sixth article focuses on some variations to the calculation depending on the number of holes played and the format, in this specific case the results in 9-hole rounds, which, formerly reserved for juniors, have experienced an increase in recent times.
Therefore, in the new World Handicap System, 9-hole rounds will be valid for all players, regardless of their handicap (until now they were not valid for the first category).
