______________________________________________________________________
The new World Handicap System has been designed to make
golf more modern, fun and inclusive. The R&A and the USGA
have created nine videos that capture this and break down each
key change in a simple to understand manner.
The videos work best as a sequence and have been put in an
order
which will make the best sense for you to follow the process,
Each video can be viewed individually by clicking the links below
