HANDICAP DIVISIONS

Handicap information

Handicaps may take the form of:

• An R&A/USGA Index Number/handicap
• Or the equivalent from their country, with their membership (GHIN) number or a copy of their Handicap card which verifies that Index Number.
• Returning golfers from the past WPFG will use their tournament handicap.
• Or returning golfers from USPFC will use their tournament handicap.

This Index will be established by the scores shot in one or both of the past WPFG/USPFC. If their current Index is lower, it will be used. 

Handicap Review Committee will be stood by the WPFGF which reserves the right to adjust Index Numbers of golfers who have a history of scoring well below their Handicap, or for countries that do not have a rate/slope system.  

The Handicap Review Committee can re-handicap any individual after the first and/or second day of play if their score is considered to not reflect their handicap/index.

Entrants’ actual “LI” (Low Index), will be used unless adjusted by the Handicap Review Committee.  

If entrant has two numbers from two different clubs the lowest must be used. 

INDIVIDUAL DIVISIONS

TEAMS (2 PERSON) DIVISIONS

When competing in a Team Event, the team’s age division is the age division of its youngest team member.

Athletes can only compete in 1 age division. If an athlete is competing with a team member in a younger age division, they must play in this age division in the Individual Event as well.
