EWGA Handicapping News
26.11.08
News from the EWGA website. The English Women’s Golf Association and the English Golf Union are launching a system of active and inactive handicapping which will identify the competitive nature of all golfers in England with a CONGU handicap.
The system, which has the full support of CONGU, will come into effect on 1 January 2010 and all members with CONGU handicaps will be required to return at least three qualifying scores each year to retain an active handicap. Supplementary score and those from nine-hole qualifying competitions will be acceptable.
Inactive handicaps may still be used for social golf and events in which an active handicap is not an entry requirement.
