World Handicap System....

Are you ready?

On November 2, your CONGU handicap will be consolidated into a single portable index and your playing experience changes for the better.

You can find your new handicap and more information via the England Golf portal and the button below.

If you are worried about how the rules will affect you and your handicap, we are here to help.

If you do not go into all the detail and calculations, which is what the technology is there to do, it is really simple for the average golfer, but perhaps the biggest improvement is that the WHS is equitable around the world.

Via the button below is a list of questions and answers which will help you understand the new system.

Golf on Tour

It's not over yet!

The golfing season would have pretty much finished by this point if it were a ‘normal year’. The men’s game would have named its four Major champions, the women’s game its five big winners, and another cracking Ryder Cup enjoyed.

Sadly, this hasn’t been the case but the good – okay, great - news is that there are still two Majors left to play: an autumnal Masters Tournament from Augusta National and the U.S Women’s Open from from Justin Thomas and Jon Rahm; Rory McIlroy made a record-breaking 29 birdies over the same four days, albeit he mixed them with 8 bogeys and 3 doubles; Hatton and Fitzpatrick are performing well both sides of the Atlantic; DJ is fresh off the back of his FedEx Cup triumph and Bryson is testing longer driver shafts as his looks to dominate Augusta.

We’d love to know who you think has the best chance of winning this year’s Masters. Also, are you excited to see how Augusta plays in November compared to its traditional April slot?

Clothing for the cold

We can’t control the weather, but we can protect ourselves from it. Unfortunately, it is starting to get colder outside but that doesn’t mean golf has to be put on hold, though, does it? Enter Galvin Green's stunning collection for this winter, available at Lyme Regis Golf Club.

When it comes to layering up in winter, there's no better brand than Galvin Green. Two of our favourite pieces are the Dwight sweater and the Denzel body-warmer, both of which boast the Swedish brand's revolutionary Insula technology.

This technology keeps you insulated, retaining your body heat during cold weather. The stretch fabric also allows you to swing the club without restriction. Of course, if you want to explore the full range, visit our website using the button below.
