In 2025, the Men’s Team Matches will now feature 80 teams of six players, who compete in Net Four-Ball Match Play against three other teams in their region throughout the summer. The top-performing teams in each region will advance to the championship at Willowbend on October 14. Want to learn more and see if this is a good fit for your club? Join our info webinar on 1/28 at 4:30 PM.

This past summer the USGA released Phase 1 of their Handicap Review Tool. The role of the Handicap Committee is made easier when equipped with a tool to identify when the calculated Handicap Index is no longer reflective of a player’s demonstrated ability. Used appropriately, this tool is designed to ensure that players are treated fairly and consistently from golf club to golf club. We will continue to share information once Phase 2 of this feature is released early this year, in the meantime, please revisit the below information to better understand this useful tool and be sure to attend our WHS Webinar on February 5th.
