That I continue to write so extensively on the World Handicap System (WHS) suggests to me there’s something inherently wrong with it. I am clearly not flogging a dead horse when I ask for change. In fact, I’m patting the neck of a very lively horse that’s desperate to leave the starting gate and gallop away at full speed.
As I’ve said before, WHS isn’t suited to the competitive culture of club golf that’s long established and deeply engrained in the British Isles. The feedback from golfers on articles I’ve written suggesting ways WHS could be altered and improved has been heavily in favour of what I’m saying.
