I've had my WHS email from England Golf!! Am I the first?

Somewhat unexpected, extract below:

Dear Shep,

We just wanted to let you know that the World Handicapping System was actually just a big April fool. Admittedly, it got a bit out of hand (and it's not April) but you've got to admit that we fooled you good and proper. Sucker! We've been laughing our arses off at the arguments and debates on the Golf Monthly forum. The handicap nerds on there are going to lose their heads when they realise it was just a wind up. They'll have to find something else to worry about like global warming, child poverty, or who's going to win Bake Off.

Anyway, hope you're not too disappointed... LOSER!

Love,
EG

PS, nice work on your Winter Pairs win at the weekend

Still haven’t got mine though ??

 

[IanM]

Of course it was a wind-up... you didn't actually believe any of the talk of "algorithms" or the, it's "this, multiplied by that divided by the other" nonsense did you? Large laminated charts on tees? Surely no one would buy that?

I can’t believe your real name’s Shep. Were your folks fans of Blue Peter?
