| GHIN | 2024 WHS Updates | Score posting tutorial |
Another season is officially in the books come Thursday.
The active handicap-posting season in the GAP Region ends Nov. 14. Active posting season resumes April 1, 2025.
Scores are still eligible for posting to your handicap record if the round played takes place within active-posting regions and is in accordance with the Rules of Handicapping and the Rules of Golf.
At the beginning of 2020, the World Handicap System was introduced. Handicap revisions now occur on a daily basis. The WHS brings six different handicap systems together into a single set of Rules for Handicapping, enabling golfers of different abilities to play and compete on a fair and equitable basis. For more resources, visit GAP’s World Handicap System page.
