Handicapping the Handicap System

June 2, 2005

GolfBusiness has an article on the complexities—both mathematical and political—of the USGA’s handicap system.

I like their suggestion that we adopt the British system—in which handicaps are calculated only in official tournaments—I think it would speed up play. As they point out, most golfers in the isles don’t generally bother to keep score.
