One possible outcome could be that the method of calculation for HI returns to being localised to satisfy country requirements. Certainly trying to find a common method for that aspect that suits USA golf and Irish golf seems unlikely.
Absolutely, neither of our experiences are the same as everyone else.
That is right, major changes to the core WHS pillars I feel are very very unlikely to result from this survey.
What do you regard as the core WHS pillars? Is the HI calculation a pillar?
Changing the goalposts
With what aim though. WHS was to unify and have comparable handicaps across the globe. In that, they are no further on, so have failed in their core goal for adopting the principle of the US system and dumping the one that we had here.
Is it ?
I thought handicaps were to be consistent across the world was the fundamental justification ? Not that we were missing slope in the UK.

You started talking about stolen cars?
I never mentioned cat1 it dosnt exist anymore. We have none under 5 cap.

I try and keep it relevant rather than going off half cocked and missing the point.I just joined a general conversation about juniors.
Have you ever joined in a conversation on here or just stick to one person at a time.
Hope you have locked your car

Consistency was the aim and still can be. However I think they need to think more carefully about when and why it's necessary. If you have 100 scores in your record that we're all done in USA and then you move to Ireland, for example, and you want to compete in Irish club golf then you want a handicap that works in Ireland. There's absolutely no reason why that can't be calculated against your scoring record from the USA as long as the basis for calculating differentials is the same, i.e. slope.
@PaulMdj laughed at this apparently. I'm struggling to understand why? You are absolutely spot on, it was an issue in America before WHS because their system allowed GP cards sand solo rounds to be entered, so they had a ton of vanity handicaps as well as sandbaggers. So who then would surprised that this is exactly what's happened here now thanks to basically importing their ease of cheating
My home club hasn't held a junior comp in two years. 104 year old club, and two years, the first time ever, there's no names on trophies.
Hope the below link works. I had 1 GP card in my last 20 when I entered the English Seniors this year which was a -2.1 and was not balloted out .
I'm not trying to be awkward. But it isn't to me - sorry. Please expand.
I think it is you missing the point, people cheated under UHS, people are cheating under WHS.
I have not seen anyone suggest that people who cheat are without blame.Just that a system that so readily facilitates the cheating is not a very good one..
