What is a Handicap?

Why it matters

All golfers are not created equal but with the World Handicap System™, all golfers can compete on a fair and equitable basis. Many competitive events require that all players keep an active handicap to participate.  Keeping an active handicap is the best way to track your personal progress and gain insights into the trajectory of your game.
