Golfers across Scotland will now be able to see where they rank amongst their peers, thanks to a new feature in the Scottish Golf app.
This new feature can be viewed in the ‘My Handicap’ section of the Scottish Golf app, under the ‘My Handicap Ranking’ tab, or on the Scottish Golf website, here.
Golfers can compare their handicap to their club mates, as well as other players across their region and country.

Speaking about the launch of the new National Handicap Order of Merit, Scottish Golf Head of VMS, Dave Kernohan said:
“Through speaking to golfers and club officials, it became clear to us that a National Handicap Order of Merit is something that would be a valuable addition to our offering.
“Now, golfers will have the ability to benchmark themselves, and measure their progress against other golfers around the country.
