Once you feel comfortable with your game and are ready to go for your first handicap, you’ll need to submit 54 holes of scores – this can be six 9-hole rounds or three 18-hole rounds. Scorecards should be handed in to the Pro Shop or Main Office, and within just 2–3 days your first handicap will be created. From then on, you can add more scores through casual rounds or competitions to keep your handicap up to date.

What do Handicap Index, Course Handicap and Playing Handicap mean?
Handicap Index: This is a standardized measure of a golfer's potential ability, calculated from the best scores in their recent rounds. It allows golfers of varying skill levels to compete fairly against each other. Your current index will be on your England Golf app or V1.
Course Handicap: This converts your Handicap Index into the number of strokes you receive (or give) for a specific course and set of tees. It considers the course's difficulty, ensuring fair competition across different courses.
Playing Handicap: In competition play, your Course Handicap is adjusted based on the format and any applicable handicap allowances. This ensures equity among players of all levels.
