I understand, that this is to be addressed among the significant changes to the WHS for the new season; specifically, CONGU nations will adopt the same slope rating as the rest of the world, meaning most golfers in those nations will lose shots, and slope-index boards will all need to be recalculated and re-printed. Don’t get me wrong, I applaud the changes and the readjustment of slope indexes to fall in line with the rest of the world, but I remain convinced there remains a fundamental flaw in the WHS, which is the removal of the ‘buffer’ zone...”
