Why is my Handicap Index different on the new My Scottish Golf App?

We are aware that there may be small discrepancies in your Handicap Index in the new platform. This is down to very small differences in how the providers have coded their WHS calculator and changes to course ratings/slope ratings over the last 2 years.

When we transferred from one provider to another, we imported all your scoring records and recalculated your handicap index based on this data. We needed to do this to ensure all the calculations were working as expected, we could not just transfer a Handicap Index as you would then have lost all of your historic scoring records.

Your Handicap Index is still an accurate representation of your demonstrated ability. Your home club can do an adjustment if needed but we would recommend just continuing to submit scores and enjoy playing the game.
