Episode Description from the Publisher

If you’ve played golf long enough, you’ve probably heard both sides of this argument. Low handicaps hate giving strokes. Higher handicaps get tired of hearing them complain. So who’s right? That question serves as the foundation for this week’s episode of Splitting Fairways, the THP podcast where Ryan “Hawk” and Jeremy “Lord Tox” take on the conversations golfers are already having every day. Rather than deciding who’s right, the show explores both sides of golf’s most divisive topics. This week, the focus shifts to one of the oldest debates in the game: the handicap system.
