Show Notes
Steve Carroll steps in for Tom Irwin this week, joining Dan Murphy for a deep dive into the World Handicap System and the latest WHS Data Report.
With more than 150 million rounds from over 6.5 million golfers included in the report, the pair discuss what the numbers really tell us about handicaps, general play and competition rounds, the ongoing debate around the system, and participation in women's golf.
There's also plenty of golf chat, with Dan looking back on a recent trip to Ireland and Steve sharing his experience at Gilling Castle.
Is the WHS working as it should? And why does it continue to divide opinion among golfers? Steve and Dan get stuck into the numbers and the debate. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
