Handicaps

The golf handicap system in the UK is the Council of National Golf Unions (CONGU®) 'Unified Handicapping System'.

The Unified Handicapping System has been developed to achieve a uniformity and equity in handicapping throughout Great Britain and Ireland and other countries adopting the System.  The nature of the game of golf, with its varying playing conditions, makes handicapping a relatively inexact operation.  Nevertheless, if the same principles are sensibly and universally applied by Handicap Committees, a high degree of uniformity in handicapping can be achieved.

Handicaps are managed by your club.  Ask your Handicap Secretary for details on how your handicap is managed locally.

The following companies have been given licenses to produce CONGU handicap management software.
