3 Ways a Handicap Index® Can Enhance Your Golf Experience this Season 

The USGA and The R&A have jointly introduced several major changes to the World Handicap System™ in 2024. The changes predominantly focus on making more rounds of golf count towards a Handicap Index®.  

Reminder - Three Key Changes: 

- Shorter courses are now eligible for an official course rating 
- 10-17 holes rounds can be posted with the use of expected Score Differential™ 
- 9-hole scores no longer require another 9-hole score to be paired with in order to count towards your Handicap Index
