In a press release dated 5/7/2009, Golf Australia indicated its intent to pursue the USGA Handicap System. In part the release said:
The Board of Golf Australia has resolved to open discussions with the United States Golf Association about adopting the USGA Handicap System in Australia.
This decision was made immediately following a State Forum at which each State Association expressed the view that the USGA Handicap System provides the best way forward for Australian golf.
Since Golf Australia’s formation in 2006, a unified handicapping system for men and women has been one of the new organisation’s key objectives. The USGA handicap System will not only deliver a series of notable improvements to Australian handicapping, it will also finally realise this goal.
GolfSoftware.com already has customers in Australia and New Zealand and is positioned to offer mature golf software products to Australian golf enthusiasts.
