Effective January 1, 2020 a new handicap system, known as the World Handicap System, will go into effect. This new system will combine the 6 different world wide handicap systems so that your handicap index will be valid no matter where you play throughout the entire world.
As a part of this new combined system there are numerous significant changes to the handicap system which has been in effect for many years here in the USA. Following are some of the most significant changes to the prior handicap system.

I think that handicap system in the game of golf is a kind of "modified capitalism". Because of it,
golf is for everyone, good or bad on the game. It makes the competition interesting and people
want to play together. The players always want to have less handicap. They set the goal tor the
lower handicap and work at it.
The unlimited competition in the free market will favor the most capable group of people. Eventually
a few will have the most of capital and majority of people will be poor. It will result in very weak
consumer bases. Very few will be able to buy things and use services. The economy will be broken.
The government must intervene to save the economy. It must give some handicap to less able people.
And they can compete against the more capable people. So, the community can live happily together.
It is just like the joy out of the game of golf.

Thank you, Dr. Ohn, for shedding more light on the confusion and
your insight for the game of golf.

3. Equitable Stroke Control is a bit confusing. The following is easier to understand it.
" However, under the World Handicap System, the maximum number of strokes any player
can take on a hole is net double bogey, meaning par plus two strokes minus any handicap
strokes for a hole. For example, for a player getting 36 strokes on an 18-hole course, their
maximum score on a par 5 is 9, as taking away their two handicap strokes would give them 7.
Under the old system, a player getting 36 strokes could take a 9 on a par 3 or a par 4 as well
as a par 5, effectively padding their index for them. Meanwhile, better players were limited
to double bogey regardless of a hole's par. With the World Handicap System, the maximum
score a player can take for handicap is standardized and more fair."
