With immediate effect, the Handicap Co-ordination Committee has relaxed the restrictions on Association Handicappers setting and altering handicaps of 8 and less. An index change of 80 points is no longer required for such a change to be made. Paragraph 4.3 of the Handicap Guidelines and Procedures now reads:
4.3 Handicaps From 0 to 8
Only Association Handicappers may alter and set Handicaps in this range. However, Club Handicappers may recommend such changes to an Association Handicapper but it will not take effect until confirmed by the Association Handicapper.
Any such change must be by at least 3 steps. Such changes must be based on a period of 10 or more consecutive Eligible Games. Eligible Games are games that count in the AHS.
