World Handicap System
The World Handicapping System (WHS), came into force on the 2nd November 2020. Below are a series of documents and videos from England Golf explaining how it works.
At the bottom of the page is an overview document which you may find useful, together with our Course and Slope rating and the lookup table visitors will require when playing at Gillingham. A lookup table will be available at every course as your handicap will vary.
Documents will be added to this page as they are released by England Golf.
