WHS Hard Cap | Golf Monthly
I think the simple answer to your question is that if you post better scores then your handicap will be reduced under WHS.
As I understand it the migration will process all qualifying scores from January 2018. As it moves through them it will apply the soft and hard cap rules so when you most recent scores are process the correct HI will be calculated and the appropriate anchor point disclosed.
In subsequent rounds if they are greater than your hard capped HI it will not go up. If however they are lower it will go down in the normal way.
Not sure what date will be used for the anchor point after migration but this will determin how long the hard cap will apply.
