100%We had a conversation this morning whilst playing and without knowing about this thread. I just couldn't see why the 95% couldn't have somehow be taken care of in the players handicap index and just leave that, and the playing handicap, to worry about. If a lower handicapper needs more stokes, or a higher less strokes to play equal golf then just sort it on the handicap index they give us.
In the article there's waffle about "we did this anyway in the old system but it was hidden" (then a completely unrelated point about annual reviews)
As Rulefan says, it's generally just the one shot here or there anyway in most cases, so why complicate things.
