From 2 October 2025, when Golf Australia’s new digital platform goes live, your GA Handicap will be calculated using updated Australian Rules of Handicapping in line with the World Handicap System. These updates will make handicaps fairer, more consistent, and more reflective of actual playing conditions.

The four key changes are:

A new “Consistency Factor” for Daily Handicap calculations, supporting fairer competition and equity for female players.
A revised formula for 9-hole rounds, making shorter formats more accurate.
Adjusted expected scores for holes not played, using statistical modelling.
A refined ’Daily Difficulty’ calculation (PCC), back-calculated to 1 January 2023.

Most golfers will see a small change to their GA Handicap on 2 October, projected to be less than 0.5 strokes on average, although some players may see a bigger adjustment based on their unique scoring history. The system applies the changes automatically, so golfers don’t need to do anything.
