CONGU advice on WHS

CONGU advice on WHS

This Guidance document provides additional information to support the implementation of WHS in GB&I.  It is not a substitute for the WHS Rules of Handicapping and the two documents should be read side by side. 

This document is aimed primarily for Committees and Officials within Golf Clubs responsible for handicapping and the running of competitions and for Officials of the Regional Associations in GB&I.  It will also be helpful to those golfers who wish to have a deeper understanding of handicapping under WHS.
