Benefits of Using the USGA Handicap Review Tool

August 27, 2024

The USGA Handicap Review tool is used to identify players who are consistently scoring above/below their expected scoring range or where other abnormalities within a player’s scoring record exist and will provide a recommended adjustment to the Handicap Index of each player identified.

Read the official announcement HERE.

The Handicap Committee plays a vital role in the successful administration of a player’s Handicap Index® and this is made easier when equipped with a tool to intervene when the calculated Handicap Index is no longer reflective of the player’s demonstrated ability. Used appropriately, this tool is designed to ensure that players are treated fairly and consistently from golf club to golf club.
