Despite more than 2,000 calls protesting the new Equitable Stroke
Control procedure, the US Golf Association will continue with its
controversial handicap system through 1993.
USGA director of handicapping Dean Knuth unveiled the ESC
procedure yesterday at the Massachusetts Golf Association's annual
spring conference at the Newton Marriott. Knuth said the old
handicap procedure "might have been more accurate, but the new system
is simpler to understand."
Ten weeks ago, the USGA introduced the ESC procedure in Florida.
The waves of discontent are still rolling in at the USGA's offices in
Far Hills, N.J.
