Section 5 - Suspension of a Handicap

Suspension of a Player’s Handicap

The National Union, ‘Area Authority’ or Home Club of a player must ‘suspend’ the handicap of a player if there is belief that the player has

  • failed to comply with the obligations and responsibilities of the scheme (repeatedly), or
  • conducted himself in a manner that is not in the best interests of the game of golf.

Whilst a handicap is suspended, the player is not eligible to enter any competition that requires a CONGU handicap. The suspension takes affect for all clubs at which the player holds membership.

Suspensions can only be invoked if the player has been

  • advised of the period of suspension (and any other conditions), and
  • given an opportunity to appear before the committee.
