I understand the rationale for the 95% playing handicap adjustment, and that is based on a statistical analysis to achieve a balanced outcome. But why couldn't this have been incorporated into the main course handicap calculation, so that people are only having to deal with one calculation.
I would expect that the majority of golf where this difference is "important" consists of medals and stableford. Surely design the system to fit those formats, if necessary add an additional step for match play (although it is probably not necessary).
Creating a 2 step process is over-complicating things, just another error from the WHS implementation team.
