A. Calculation of Handicap : Commence Operation of the USGA's Rolling Sample
Method.
B. Remove CCR for Men's Handicapping (CCR was Removed from Women's
Handicapping in 2007).
Note i: Golf Link clubs do not need to do anything to instigate the process of
recalculating all handicaps in accordance with the new regulations. Golf Link
will do everything for you. All Australian Handicaps stored on Golf Link will
automatically be re-calculated in accordance with the new regulations and will
be ready for use at 9.00am on 9 April 2010.
Note ii: Golf Link clubs do not need to do anything to prepare their computer systems
for the First Package of Changes. All preparation will be performed by Golf
Link.
Note iii: In preparation for the switch-over to the new method of calculating handicaps,
Golf Link will be offline from 9.00am (AEST) on 7 April 2010 until 9.00am
(AEST) on 9 April 2010.
Note iv: Non-Golf Link clubs will need to manually replicate all of the changed
regulations being applied by Golf Link. There are now only 4% of Australian
club golfers not on Golf Link. While it will be possible to maintain handicaps
manually under the new regulations, GA feels the members of these clubs will
clearly be best served by having their handicaps maintained by Golf Link.
Note v: Non-Golf Link clubs wishing to join Golf Link in the upcoming months should be
aware they may experience a brief delay if they have not contacted Golf Link
requesting to come online by Monday 15 March. This is due to anticipated
extraordinary demand coupled with the scheduled heavy workload.
