At the
ALCGA AGM on 11 April 2021, amendments to the Constitution were approved and
adopted to take account of the introduction of the new WHS (World Handicapping
System).
Each
amendment replaces an old CONGU handicap with a ‘best’ corresponding new WHS
Handicap Index. By adopting this approach, the Constitution remains essentially
unchanged.
The fully
revised Constitution can be seen on this website. However, it is worth noting
here that membership is now open to all ladies and girls of handicap
index 32.0 and under who satisfy the other membership criteria. Also, Division
A, handicap index up to 19.0, will replace the old Silver
Division and Division B, handicap index 19.1 upwards, will
replace the old Bronze Division.
The ALCGA
Management Committee and Officials recognise that monitoring and review of the
implementation of WHS may identify the need for fine tuning of Handicap Index
thresholds. Consequently, further amendments to the Constitution may be advisable
in future.
