    Most golfers I play with most of the time are nowhere near as good as their WHS HI would suggest. In fact some of my regular partners don't beat their handicaps even once in a season. From being on our handicap committee for a few years now, I know the same is true across the majority of golfers. Most are not keen on getting a HI that would give them a realistic chance of contending for prizes. Most don't realise when they've hit soft or hard cap either. Handicap committee is expected to augment WHS with additional cuts when a golfer moves too quickly downwards WHS so I'm not surprised if competitions committees are stepping in to curtail repeat winners too. Although this appears to be very much aimed at throttling banditry.
