WHS & ISV Issues (Please post only if you are a handicap secretary or involved in admin at your club)

First impression is that much remains unresolved. Although recent scores have been added, none are included in the calculation. Our gents scores were all based on the wrong tees which hasn't been resolved yet. The WHS portal isn't working (bad pathway?).

All in all, not a good start, to put it kindly.
 
Let us say I was a golfer, who had not yet registered, or been able to register for the WHS platform. And, today I had a winter knockout/league match. How would I be able to find out what my Index is? The default for those that didn't know what their handicap is would be to go onto howdidido. But, that is just showing CONGU handicaps.
 
Just been on the WHS Platform. All Score Differentials and PCC have completely disappeared for all 2020 scores for every member. All the other round details are there, but these columns are simply blank, and the Index column changed to Pending

Going to have a paper copy of handicaps for this week.
 
Is this because they haven't accepted the privacy terms set out by England Golf, ie email, date of birth and male/female? We have a pretty significant number of those.
All our members accepted the privacy notice fortunately but needs a bit of further investigation but Club Systems promised access to the old CONGU system but can’t see how yet. Going for a long walk away from the golf course and wait for the chat help line to open, bet it’s swamped.
 
England Golf Portal has a message...

The World Handicap System is now live. During the course of today we will continue the process of updating player records and refreshing data. This will be completed by Tuesday. If you are playing a competition today then please use your Handicap Index as displayed at your club or on the platform.

I can see that rounds played in October have been included in the WHS data but not included as part of the current index calculation.

Rounds submitted for initial handicap have not been imported to the WHS meaning that many players have a much smaller playing history than they should have meaning their current index is going to be very volatile for a few weeks.

All I will say is that the WHS is about as live as Graham Chapmans Norwegian Blue parrot.
