The Cap Regulation
The Cap regulation only operates for players with at least 20 scores in their handicap record. Its purpose is to eliminate the capacity for extreme outward movements of your GA Handicap within short spaces of time. As a result, a temporary loss of form will not cause your GA Handicap to move too far from a level which is consistent with your underlying ability.
Your 'Low GA Handicap' is defined as being the best GA Handicap you have achieved during the 12-month period that preceded the most recent round. NOTE: The World Handicap System came into effect in Australia on 30 January 2020. GA Handicaps calculated under the previous handicapping regulations are not eligible to be a ‘Low GA Handicap’. As a result, a player is not eligible to have a ‘Low GA Handicap’ until they have played a handicap round under the World Handicap System.
Your GA Handicap is allowed to increase at 100% of the '8 of 20 scores' calculation UNLESS it reaches 3 strokes above your 'Low GA Handicap'. If in this Soft Cap zone, GOLF Link only allows your GA Handicap to increase by 50% of the calculated amount – unless it reaches the Hard Cap.
The Hard Cap is an absolute limit on the upward movement of your GA Handicap. When your NEXT round is processed through GOLF Link, the GA Handicap that will be calculated for you can not be any more than 5 strokes above your current 'Low GA Handicap'.
