Low lads and bandits aside, is there anybody who thinks WHS is just ‘alright’ and not as polarising as this thread suggests? It’s got me about right but I use it the same as CONGU, so maybe supplementary scores are the difference when they haven’t been before?

Surely we haven’t adopted a handicap system where every time the rough is grown up or cut down the course rating/slope should be different?

There’s probably a few contributing factors, there usually is with things like this. These could be outliers. The outliers being more extreme with WHS doesn’t mean they don’t happen though. I’m just reporting what I’ve seen post-WHS and not before.

2 19s for the 62s. Gross 81 for the 52, whatever that works out at.

We’ve had a 52 points and a couple of nett 62s (-10) since WHS came in. Unheard of prior. Extremes, but they do happen.

This is a good post, especially the last point. For me, EG seem obsessed with people submitting as many rounds as possible that they forget some people already play 25+ qualifiers a year and, even with a best 8 average and an already accurate handicap, can fluctuate massively during a season...

Had a quick look and we have around 120, ranging from 9.9 to +3.1. Maybe the comment needed an asterisk *excluding division 1 of medals and medal finals (8 per year). This isn't a complaint or an anti-WHS thing, just an observation and feedback from the club. I'm in the 9s and my best golf...

Ours are down and have been declining steadily all season to the point tee times are being released mid-comp. Pre-WHS you had to set an alarm to get a comp tee or play late afternoon. 800+ members. Asked the question and was told nobody under 10 has won anything for 2 years.

Hopefully somebody can answer this, happened recently and none of us were 100% sure what to do… Playing partner hits ball towards bunker. Rake is in bunker but handle is sticking out. Rake handle stops ball from going in bunker and ball rests against it on downslope, ball is certain to move if...
