Embracing the responsibilities of players under the World Handicap System (WHS)
England Golf's guide clarifies the responsibilities of players under the WHS. Key points include pre-registering to commit to submitting scores, trying your best on every hole, certifying accurate scores for others, and consistently submitting all acceptable rounds. Honesty is paramount; manipulating your Handicap Index for personal advantage is prohibited and can result in penalties. Adhering to these rules ensures fair play and accurate handicaps.
