On August 15th, the World Am handicap committee will begin requesting information from you about your handicap index.
You may have previously submitted club verification info to tournament staff, however, that was simply to confirm your index will be valid to utilize come this time frame! We ask you please submit this information in a timely manner as it is due back at 5PM the day after you receive it!
This blog is to assist you in finding the most critical piece of information asked of you. That is your Lowest 12 Month Index (dating back to September 1, 2018). It is different for all services, so we’ve compiled a brief tutorial video for the three most popular ones! If you can’t find yours, we suggest you call us to fill out your handicap paperwork over the phone.
