Sturminster Marshall Golf Club - World Handicap System
From 2nd November 2020 our present handicap system will be replaced by the World Handicap System.
All countries around the world will be adopting the same system.
England Golf has produced a wide range of materials to explain the new syste and enable you to understand it.
As part of this new system, England Golf requires information from all members. This includes date of birth and email addresses. It will be collected via ISVs. To find out how the data will be used and stored, please read the Privacy Notice.
On this page are some useful documents and links, provided by England Golf, to give everything you need to know.
