Talking to son in laws dad earlier today at our course. He mentioned about all courses being assessed re the Slope system and how it affects your handicap when playing at another course.
i got the jest of what he was talking about, but anyone able to explain it to a village idiot in its entitreity.
 
Course will be rated and depending on their "toughness" compared to your home course your HC will be adjusted

For example

10 HC at home course

You go to play a course which is sloped 2 shots harder then your HC for that course is 12 - as a pretty basic example

Good man phil, any idea when it is going to be the instigated by. I have a feeling some members on here are going to have a bit of Micky taking when it is out.
He did mentioned that most parts of the world already use this. Is this the case.
 
Don't think it will be fully integrated in this country but nothing definite at the moment, 2020 was grumbled as a year target

The US use it and believe mainland Europe also
