CONGU Extract
Changes to the CONGU UHS System have recently been
announced. In view of the proposed introduction of the World Handicap
System (WHS) these changes have been kept to a minimum and take into
account some of the options likely to be adopted in the WHS, principal
of which is to encourage players to submit more scores to their handicap
record.
One of the changes, which come into effect on the 1st
of January 2018,
is:
Retirement of Club & Disability Handicaps –
As a result of their low impact these have been removed and replaced by
a new Category 5 for Men and Category 6 for both Men and Women,
providing for a maximum handicap of 54.0 for all golfers. Players will
be able to maintain a Competition Handicap in all six categories. Upward
adjustment for all categories will remain at 0.1 and downward
adjustments for Net Differentials below Buffer Zones will be 0.5 for
Category 5 and 0.6 for Category 6.
After 1st January 2018 Handicap Committees can increase
handicaps above the current limits of 28.0 and 36.0, and they will also
increase above those limits automatically as a result of above Buffer
Zone returns in Qualifying Competitions and Supplementary Score
submissions.
