Player Appeal Process

The player must be given the opportunity to respond either in writing or in person to the Handicap Committee when their Handicap Index is being adjusted or withdrawn.

The player should be provided information as to why the Handicap Index is being adjusted or withdrawn, as well as the duration.

The Handicap Committee should ensure that it has procedures in place to settle any disputes in relation to a handicap review or the application of the Rules of Handicapping in general. The player may escalate their appeal of the Handicap Index adjustment to the AGA Handicap Committee for review if they believe the club's Handicap Committee is not operating within the Rules of Handicapping.
