handicap

is my golfshake handicap recognised by congu

CONGU provide the handicap system used in GB&I and which is only issued if you are a member of an affiliated golf club.  Thus the term 'official' with handicaps is generally reserved for club handicaps.

The Golfshake handicap is provided using a system not to dissimilar but because you are not playing to the conditions of the CONGU system ie club competitions then we obviously do not provide an official CONGU handicap.

The Golfshake handicap is widely recognised and accepted at courses around the world as proof of your playing ability.  If you are looking to use for Open Club competitions then these by design are for visiting club golfers thus require an official CONGU club handicap.

Hope this helps.

Hopefully the answer above answered the query.

In terms of clubs and cliub not accepting then this is a list of some of the top prestigous clubs that will and won't when one of our US members checked a few years back.

Worth noting the 3rd on will not accept list will now accept the GS handicap

Main reason for the others not accepting is the min 18 handicap requirement and awareness of what Golfshake does, something I am working on.
