On 3 September 2018 South Africa will be implementing a new Course and Slope Rating System which will influence your Handicap Calculation.

Under this system, your course handicap on any given day will be determined according to the difficulty of the course you choose to play.

GolfRSA believes that this will be fairer than our current handicap which does not equalise the higher and lower handicaps well on a difficult golf course. It will also bring SA in line with the rest of the world when the World Handicap System is implemented and make our Handicap Index portable from country to country.
