The World Handicap System (WHS) has been in place now for nearly four years in this country, a little longer in others. I think it’s had a fair chance to bed in and for people to make their own assessments on whether it’s superior to, and whether they enjoy it more than, the old CONGU system of competition standard scratches and 0.1s.
I can only speak on what I have experienced, and my personal assessment is – I haven’t enjoyed golf as much over the last four years because of the World Handicap System. I don’t get nearly as much out of the competitive rounds I play, and those are the rounds I enjoy most.
