When it comes to my opinion about the World Handicap System (WHS) I feel a little like my voice has been swept under the carpet somewhat. The ‘not that same old argument again’ opposition. I feel like a right-wing politician whose opinion on the effect the WHS has had on destroying the great traditions of the game is so controversial, and against the majority vote, that I’m rarely allowed to voice it.
I’ve been told to ‘put up and shut up’ countless times over the last six years, but the truth is that nothing has changed. Everything that was wrong about the introduction of the WHS right from its global inception in 2020 is still wrong. Our golf clubs are even more full of over-handicapped bandits who win all the competitions.
