On a recent Golf Monthly staff day out, I paired up with a member of the team who was receiving 45 shots (my handicap is 5.0 and I received six shots). Competing in a better ball format, we came in with 38 points, both contributing to the overall score and finishing in the middle of the pack.
The attempted levelling of the playing field through WHS means that every golfer from professional to beginner can compete with and against each other on any course around the world. It’s what makes golf so brilliantly unique.
