SCOTTISH GOLF APP - CHECK YOUR COURSE HANDICAP

Did you know that you can now use the Scottish Golf App to check what your Course Handicap will be at any golf course in Scotland?

Scottish Golf has added a new Course Look Up feature to its Scottish Golf App. Providing you are a member of a Scottish Golf Club and have a current Scottish Golf CDH ID number, you can use it to check your Course Handicap for any golf course with a current course and slope rating in Scotland.

All you need to do is click on the blue 'Course Lookup' button at the top of your Scottish Golf App 'Home' screen and use the search function to find the course you want to play. You will then be able to see what the par, course rating and slope rating is for each set of the tees on that course, whether they are rated for men and/or women and what your Course Handicap will be.

A Course Handicap is the number of strokes a player receives, before handicap allowances, from a specific set of tees as determined by the Slope Rating. This is the handicap you will put on your score card.

A Handicap Allowance is the percentage of a Course Handicap that is recommended to create equity for all players participating in a specific format of play. It is used to convert a player's Course Handicap to a Playing Handicap when a player is playing in competitions. It ensures that all players can enjoy a fair and equal game when playing with or against one another.
