Ditto - why does the IGC handicapping committee or its chairman not see this? Was there any consultation with competitors this new handicap list? Would have been the polite thing to do? IGC handicap list is made by handicap committee. IGC delegates do not get to vote, discuss or even see the handicap list before publication, even if they wanted to. It is totally in the control of committee members. |
