Attached a short guide from the Women’s Handicap Committee outlining the difference between Handicap Index, Course Handicap and Playing Handicap, along with some helpful information on how this applies in Stableford competitions.
Now that qualifying competitions are counting towards handicap calculations, the Committee felt it would be useful to share a simple explanation of why players should continue to play to their Course Handicap during Stableford competitions, even where the Playing Handicap shown for competition purposes may differ.
