Handicap Committee Terms of Reference

[mikejohnchapman]

Our club is considering moving to a Handicap Committee covering all sections of the club vs the current Handicap Secretaries.

Does anyone have a written terms of reference or constitution for a Handicap Committee or even a roles and responsibilities document they are willing to share?

Thanks in anticipation.

I think all the roles and responsibilities part are on Congu’s website.

For starters download or read the Manual here

and see Sections 6 & 7

Our club is considering moving to a Handicap Committee covering all sections of the club vs the current Handicap Secretaries.

We have a joint committee Chair, Ladies' and Men's secs, Pro, General Manager and a Technical Advisor (ie me). This Committee makes all the major decisions and handles disciplinary matters related to play.
But for day to day operation we find it more convenient to have Ladies' and Men's sub-committees consisting of 3 people having a good knowledge of fellow members. They manage the details of comps, checking cards (although the pro does men's), annual review, players queries etc

Thanks - just the ticket!

I guess we will be due an updated version for WHS soon.

This is my first year on the handicap committee so I did a fair bit of searching round on the congu website. There’s some really good stuff on there.
Already started with WHS reading a couple of months ago.

Not much I reckon. This from the WHS manual together with the 1st three columns of Appendix A
