What do we think to this? https://www.nationalclubgolfer.com/news/world-handicap-system-no-return-penalties/
Personally I try never to N/R unless it is through illness or injury and for me finishing last in my division is no big deal. I may get some stick on the day in the 19th but the next round will be someone else's turn. Now I understand it is looking at persistent offenders but is re-setting handicaps or other sanctions really going to encourage people to become members and play comps? It does seem to me that there is a tiny hint of "Big Brother" with this new system and that players are under almost constant scrutiny. Is it going to suck the fun put of playing? How will roll up groups cope if no-one in the group wants it to be a qualifying card?
