The Old Course at St. Andrews is confirmed to the hosting The Open in 2027: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/golf/articles/ceve4rjedpdo
This year of course it is at Royal Portrush and next year it heads to a slightly revamped Royal Birkdale.
Quite like Golfshake as it uses the same formula as WHS but I don't have to pay or keep physical cards that need to be signed by people I don't play with. Technically I have 3 handicap indexes but 2 of which are "official", this Golfshake one (19.5) which is a recognized handicap complete with certificate etc, The Grint, which uses it's own method of calculating (differing course difficulties and a different formula to produce a handicap using the GHIN system) which shows me at 22 and a spreadsheet I keep which also uses a similar formula to WHS (An 18-hole Score Differential is calculated as follows and rounded to the nearest tenth, with .5 rounded upwards: Score Differential =(113 ÷Slope Rating)x(adjusted gross score –Course Rating – PCC adjustment) that uses just my last 20 rounds and currently has me at 19.4.
So for the sake of being accurate to the World Handicap System and what I would be at with England Golf, my playing handicap is 19.5.
