The World Handicap System isn’t perfect. Previous iterations haven't been, either. But there are so many variables and complicated problems to solve that golf is never going to find a perfect answer. One simply doesn’t exist.
I think the World Handicap System has done a decent job on the whole –A although I’m opposed to nine-hole scores being submitted – and there are plenty out there who agree with me, but that’s by no means a uniform opinion.
