Golfers know that the difficulty of a course can change dramatically from day to day. Factors like hole placements, green speeds, and weather conditions can turn a familiar course into a new challenge.
Enter the Playing Conditions Calculation (PCC) system, a game-changer for accurately assessing these daily fluctuations.
Since May 2019, Australia’s golfers have benefited from the PCC system, which adjusts handicap ratings based on actual playing conditions.
This dynamic approach ensures that scores reflect the true difficulty faced, leading to more stable and comparable handicaps.
With most of Australia’s golfers playing in coastal cities with variable weather, the PCC system’s flexibility is crucial for maintaining accurate handicaps.
