There are no definitives and this is just one thing that needs to be dealt with urgently. Let's get rid of playing handicap in golf. It will not only speed up the game. It will definitely speed up calculating of the results. For the good of amateur golfers themselves, it would take burden from their heads. The results won't be boosted by some index but liberated from the political correctness. That is to say - golf will be once again an attractive and fun game to play.
