The hole index for 9 hole courses will now use an index in the range from 1 - 9 only, instead of mirroring the 18 hole course index as it did previously.
Note: The conversion of existing courses into the new index method is handled automatically during the Golf Australia CONNECT transition process. No action is required by clubs to convert indexes for existing courses. This will only be required for future course changes and creation.
Example - correct allocation of index in the range 1 - 9
Example - incorrect allocation of index
(Mirroring the 18 hole index was allowed in the previous system but cannot be used due to a change in the 9 hole handicap regulations - access the following link for further information Golf Australia - Changes to the rules of Handicapping )
