The World Handicap System (WHS) was launched in January 2020 and adopted in the UK & Ireland in November that year. Following a major transitional period while golfers adapted to how it operated relative to the previous handicap system, the initial dust has settled and it has been running relatively smoothly, with many initially sceptical golfers now more ‘sold’ on the concept.
Many, but not all, of course! A few gripes and uncertainties remain in some quarters about certain elements, sometimes legitimately, and sometimes perhaps from those who still don't understand how the system and its calculations really work.
