The sort of ratings I'd like is, for high handicappers, how many balls are you likely to lose. I lost 9 at Manchester Golf Club in their rough when they were preparing for a Women's Open 😢

Do you have to put the score in as you are playing? I don’t have data on my phone so I would want to register before I drive to the course. Then put in the score once I get back to my house….is this possible?

Played my club champs qualifying at the wkd, 30-40mph winds pissing rain and I shot a 80 gross off +2 and go up from +1.8 to +1.6 ? Not a single category 1 golfer shot level par gross. Bring back reductions only and buffer zones. You are killing the game, this will be my last year playing golf back to the fishing more enjoyable. Utterly ridiculous system and completely open to manipulation.

WHS has had effects at both end of the golfing spectrum. Higher Index golfers are happy to see there scores go up as they get rewarded every few competitions. Lower golfers cherrypick when to play (weather based) as they want to stay low and ensure they get in teams and "elite" comps. I'm off 4.9 and am really just playing to better my Index and maybe get a 2. Open comps are out of my reach now.

Just a case of pandering to the USGA. Who invented the game > The old system worked perfectly well and now after a year or so a change again.

The fourball better ball inclusion is disappointing for sure... Fourball better ball brings a whole different tactic/dynamic to the game which is not reflective of individual play. In fourball better ball, you may well adjust your game based on the performance of your playing partner, not necessarily choosing the same shots (usually level of caution) that you would in a counting round.

It seems to me that this is more about promoting Scottish Golf as an organisation rather than bringing any improvements to the game. Nobody I was aware of had any interaction with this mob just to enjoy a game of golf on a Saturday morning, now everyone has their app, and they have our information and before I go out to enjoy my first medal of the season, I'm scouring youtube for information to help me understand how my score will be calculated. Unbelievable
@FF04RDF9 ай бұрын
Judging by the comments so far on this video, the further changes to an already unpopular system have gone down like a jobby on the dinner table. The impact on me is that my Index @ 8.0 will give me a playing index (home course) of 9.8 but when you factor in the 95% rule, brings it down to 9.3. All a bit unnecessary I think. (Why don’t any of these WHS vids mention the 95% bit?)

@GraceKing-ps8td9 ай бұрын
Couldn’t make it more complicated if they tried. When I started playing under the Ladies system all that was required was 4 live scores totalled up and divided by 4 to give you your handicap. If you had better scores during the season you substituted them in place of the higher scores. You knew exactly how to calculate your own handicap. If you played and your score wasn’t any good it was totally disregarded. The game was FUN to play as you didn’t need to return a score every game. We’re rank Amateurs for goodness sakes not professionals earning a living.

Golf is hard enough - we’ve to book tee times through BRS, register and put scores in via HowDidIDo, hand cards into Club committee - just where do Scottish Golf get involved? Course Ratings, Slope Ratings (why 113?) - tick this box, fill-in that app, jump through these hoops! It’s become so complicated just to tee-it up in a Saturday Medal with any confidence that all the admin has been filled in/applied for correctly. Are we still getting a percentage of handicap in a medal, or has that changed as well? Also, why call it a ‘world’ handicap system when it wasn’t the the same in the rest of the world last year - or have we now caught up?
@ColinMcMinn-tt3qs9 ай бұрын

Why not just leave the game as it was created. Scotland created Golf, they also created the passing game football. Both of which are being changed for no apparent reason. They are not improving the game and your not getting the people who go to texas scrambles and come in with imaginary scores. Their handicaps are not being changed.

I'm with you George, nearly 74 and handicap will soon be the same, when I started in 1976 you put in your cards for handicap and were given up to a maximum of 18, this was for any course, if you did not play to your handicap all year you went up 1 stroke a year to a maximum of 24, no up .1 for every game which was the start of the ruination of the game along with variable standard scratch, Hell we live in Scotland where we play in wind and rain, Now with no changes for weather conditions. when was the last time you heard of a No Counter. Good job clubs now have computers and hopefully someone who knows how to work them, as for me they have only ever made the the system worse no one seems to like it High or Low handicap. Also while on a rant, What about phones, when mobiles come into being it was a no go on the course, now you are obliged to carry one for score entry
