It’s just two weeks until the dawn of the biggest shake up to amateur golf in decades. The World Handicap System arrives on November 2 and if there are still elements that leave you utterly befuddled, never fear we are here to help.

In the first, I’m joined by David Kernohan, the governing body’s head of handicapping and course rating, to talk about two things we’re all going to become very familiar with over the coming months and years: Course Ratings and Slope Ratings.
So if you’re still a bit confused about what they are, and how they are going to affect your golf, click on the link as Kernohan explains all…
