CDGA World Handicap System Webinar

The World Handicap System (WHS) took effect Jan. 1, 2020. Due to the significant changes to the handicap system, all clubs MUST be certified to utilize the system. In order to be certified, a representative from the club is required to pass an online exam. Without certification, members of a club not certified will not receive a handicap index. In order to be certified, a representative from the club is required to pass an online exam, which can be found in the link below.

For your own reference, we have broken down the complete webinar into five separate videos below. Each video is labeled along with the time of each video. We strongly encourage you to watch the videos prior to taking the quiz.
