What is a WHS™ shot allowance?
Under the World Handicap System™, your playing handicap and the shots you receive in
a round depend on three things:
- Your Handicap Index®
- The Course Rating™ and Slope Rating® of the tees you’re playing
- The playing format (stroke play, match play, fourball, foursomes, etc.)
Your Course Handicap converts your Handicap Index® to the difficulty of the course. Your Playing
Handicap then adjusts this again using the WHS™ allowance percentages for your chosen format.
Handicalc™ automates the entire process so you always use the correct numbers — no charts, no
lookup tables, no mistakes.
