Players throwing clubs. Spectators turning on eventual US Open champion Wyndham Clark. Tempers boiling over on the biggest stage. For those who believe etiquette is golf’s foundation, recent events have raised an uncomfortable question: has the game lost its way?

Has the World Handicap System become too much of a free-for-all? Should competition golf be the only true measure of a player’s ability?

The pair ask whether the system is baffling newcomers and juniors and get into par, strokes received, and what your handicap really represents.

Whether you're a competition regular, or simply someone who's ever wondered how their index is calculated, you’ll want to listen in…
