For an individual golfer, I'm pretty sure the scores would not be truly random. However, since this is supposed to apply across the entire population of golfers, it should be random.

I think I've figured out how to simultaneously calculate results for both stroke and match play so I will give that a shot tonight. I'm curious what it will look like.

This brings us back full circle to why was the change made?

My analysis suggests that for stroke play competitions the new system is worse for the high handicap golfer, which is opposite of what was supposed to happen. Maybe the result will be different for match play?
