Understanding the WHS
For those new to the game or unfamiliar with the term, the WHS is a universal handicap system designed to provide golfers with a standardized measure of their playing ability. Introduced in Malaysia in 2020, the WHS replaced the previous handicapping systems, bringing consistency and credibility to golf handicaps nationwide.
Benefits of Having an Official WHS
Fair and Balanced Competition - with the WHS, golfers of all skill levels can compete on a level playing field. By accounting for course difficulty and player performance, the system ensures fair and balanced competition, allowing every golfer to showcase their true abilities.
Improved Game Management - armed with an official handicap, golfers can better manage their game and set realistic goals for improvement. Whether you're aiming to break 90 or lower your handicap by a stroke, the WHS provides a benchmark to track your progress and measure your success.
Access to Exclusive Events and Tournaments - many golf clubs and organizations require players to have an official handicap to participate in exclusive events and tournaments. By obtaining a WHS, you'll unlock opportunities to compete in prestigious competitions and showcase their skills on a larger stage.
Enhanced Social Experience - golf is as much about the leisure and fun as it is about competition. With an official handicap, you can enjoy a more inclusive and enjoyable social experience on the course. Whether you're playing with friends, family, or colleagues, the WHS fosters a sense of community and friendly rivalry among players.

How to obtain the Official WHS Handicap for "Homeless Golfers"?
In the realm of golf, there exists a unique breed of players often referred to as "Homeless Golfers." But don't let the term fool you – these individuals aren't without a place to call home; rather, they navigate the greens without the traditional trappings of golf course memberships.
So, who are these homeless golfers, and what sets them apart from their membership-holding counterparts?
Homeless golfers are avid players who choose to forego the commitment of golf course memberships. Instead, they opt for a more flexible approach to the game, playing at various courses as guests or taking advantage of public and municipal facilities.
MGA GoGolf made it convenient to cater for "Homeless Golfers" to obtain their Official WHS Handicap. We suggest that you reach out to GoGolf Sales Representative to assist you further on the application process. You may reach out to Ms Sally via email at sally@gogolf.my
