England Golf’s decision to postpone any changes to handicap allowances ends another turbulent year for the World Handicap System.

With dissent as strong as ever – outlined in the many emails you send to us every week – Tom Irwin and Steve Carroll discuss the latest developments and ask what the next 12 months hold for the embattled calculator.

Will WHS finally start to settle down? Does there need to be a more joined-up approach to its implementation? What it will it take for people to accept it?

This week, Tom Irwin sits down with six-time major champion Sir Nick Faldo to talk about the remarkable impact of the Faldo Series – an initiative that has helped countless young players reach the top of the game.

He also opens up about how equipment has evolved, how modern skill levels compare with his era, and what it takes to succeed today.

And, of course, you’ll hear his memories from Augusta and the stories behind his three Masters victories.

Vital to the running of a golf club, or paralysed decision makers that just get in the way? Do we still need golf club committees and, if so, how could they be improved?

Tom Irwin and Steve Carroll have some experience in this field. Both have served on golf club committees and they debate the pros and cons of these institutions.

Who are they meant to serve, and are they achieving that? Do clubs still need committees as we turn into 2026?
