The NCG Podcast: How do Course and Slope Ratings work under the World Handicap System?

In a new series of short explainers, we tackle some of the key World Handicap System issues and how they might affect you on the course
 

It’s just two weeks until the dawn of the biggest shake up to amateur golf in decades. The World Handicap System arrives on November 2 and if there are still elements that leave you utterly befuddled, never fear we are here to help.

If you haven’t already, click on to our dedicated WHS page where you can find detailed explanations of everything from how your handicap might move under the new system to what you need to think about in competitions.

But if you’re a bit short of time and just want to get your head around a few of the key concepts then we have also got you covered.

We’ve teamed up with Scottish Golf to produce a series of short 10-minute podcasts going into more depth about some of the new system’s key concepts.

In the first, I’m joined by David Kernohan, the governing body’s head of handicapping and course rating, to talk about two things we’re all going to become very familiar with over the coming months and years: Course Ratings and Slope Ratings.

So if you’re still a bit confused about what they are, and how they are going to affect your golf, click on the link as Kernohan explains all…
