I don’t think it’s unreasonable to suggest that golfers can be an opinionated and, at times, pedantic bunch. Everyone has their own thoughts on LIV Golf, whether Ryder Cup players should be paid, etiquette, dress codes and slow play, but handicapping arguably sits atop the list of most-discussed golfing topics.
It makes sense. The World Handicap System is a polarising subject, as future frameworks no doubt will be. And it’s hardly as if CONGU – the previous iteration – was universally popular. It’s an impossible job to create a system that works perfectly for everyone as the golfing paradigm continues to evolve.
