Central Database of Handicaps (CDH)
(Article reproduced courtesy of the Scottish golf union)

The Scottish Golf Union, Scottish Ladies' Golfing Association and Golf Union of Wales (GUW) have committed to producing a Central Database of Handicaps (CDH) for golf clubs and their members in Scotland and Wales.

Aimed at providing a wide and vitally important range of benefits to golf club members, clubs and their administrators and the governing bodies, the CDH project will be delivered by the Unions as a service to affiliated clubs.

Whilst this is still a work in progress, we are very keen to keep clubs and software suppliers appraised of progress and to answer any questions that may arise.

Please click here and go to the 'Related Documents' section to access a summary of the key benefits that the CDH aims to deliver and for  a comprehensive CDH Questions and Answers document.

Any queries should be referred to either Kevin Weir on 07769 671181 or Andy Salmon on 07825 671466.
