Looks good on paper but in the real world it’s a cheats charter!
You seem to be saying standardisation is moot because it's happening gradually instead of in one giant step for everyone? Surely that highlights it's relevance.
If your going to implement a new WORLD SYSTEM just do it, instead we have parts of it.
What confusion was there? It’s really not that difficult to understand, and it’s been in place more than long enough for even the most hard of thinking to get their heads round it
Parts of it are still a secret.What confusion was there? It’s really not that difficult to understand, and it’s been in place more than long enough for even the most hard of thinking to get their heads round it
So you agree that standardisation is relevant? And your complaint is that it isn't happening/hasn't happened quickly enough?
People dont even want to know the workings of what is public. The average golfer has zero interest in knowing the inner workings of PCC. 99.9% of them wouldnt even know it isnt published, and barely know it exits.
I think they do - the 12 handicapper's game has deteriorated and is no longer a 12. But a 17. The system is reflecting their decreased standard of golf. Not marooning them on 13 as UHS would have done.
Totally agree.
Yes of course.
How many really understood how CSS worked? Was anyone really interested?
How many in your club have taken any interest in understanding the algorithm and how many of them could make a useful contribution in agreeing with it or making constructive adjustments?
We don’t know that!
The only thing that is essential to be functional as a world system is a standard portable Handicap Index. WHS provided that from day one, regardless of any options chosen.
So that they can control the software system licencing. Its a good method. The average golfer doesnt need to know. There is no need to publish it. There is a benefit in not publishing it. So not making it public is a correct and rational decision.We don’t know that!
Carol Vorderman could have done it for all we know
But why won’t they even tell the Handicap secs.?
99% of golfers don’t know and don’t care.
My point is , the ones that do why is it a secret?
Nobody, and, no.
To date there have been different ethea around the world as to what golf handicapping is and how it should be managed. What outstanding differences are there now?
We do. I contacted the software coding compay.We don’t know that!

And got it badly wrong, to such an extent that despite getting emporers-new-clothes responses from SG when questioned on it, within 18 months the algorithym was changed because it wasn't up to the task, and IMO still isn't
Plenty understood how it worked, we had to work it out manually after all, so there was a lot of experience and history behind it. You're just talking more nonsense than usual here
