Ughh, my Golf Channel Live Extra app for my computer has been really bad for the European Tour coverage. So choppy.

Bjorn just triple bogey'd, game isn't over yet! Rory now just 2 back. Bjorn is tied with Lowry.

Bjorn has had his struggles on Sundays in big events when he's at the top. The British Open of '03 obviously comes to mind...he faded this year at Augusta on Sunday. Kinda reminds me of Jiminez a little bit.....always puts himself in contention in the big ones but has struggles on Sunday.

Yeah this is really interesting. He's coming up to the back 9....can he light it up again?

I'm watching it on a browser on laptop. Same deal. All the other streaming sites Netflix, HBOGO, ESPN, etc... are quite zippy. Come on Golf Channel NBC Comcast overlords. 2014 and I'm treating an HD feed like a 1920 era radio.

It was doing the same thing yesterday, then when it switched over to the PGA tournament it was fine. It has to be just the European feed...but I thought for sure they would have fixed it by today.

Very frustrating.

Lowry having some major troubles, if he misses this putt he'll be in a 3 -way tie with Rory and Bjorn!!!

This is ridiculous.

Kinda sad that the last two weeks of the European Tour have been more exciting than the entire PGA Tour season. Big names and dramatic finishes. Good stuff.

Yup! Euro tour has been awesome this year. Glad Golf Channel continues to pick it up. (even if their internet feed is shite this week.)

    • Makes sense.  Like I said, I wouldn't have been upset at their original offer either, and based on the fine print it seems like they've held up their end of the deal.  
    • If you've only had to adjust retroactively one time in 8 years and have around 5 people each year without handicaps, that's like 40-50 people total so it sounds like you're doing a pretty good job. I think your questions give enough to go off of. This might be a good way to get new people to actually post a few scores during the 6 weeks leading into the first event. Something like "New members will be eligible for tournament money once they have at least 3 posted rounds in GHIN" or something like that. If they can get 3 rounds in prior to their first event, then they're eligible. If not, they'll soon become eligible after an event or two assuming they play a little bit outside of events.
    • This is a loooooong winded narrative so if you don't like long stories, move on. 😉 Our senior club typically gets about 25 new members each year. We lose about 25 members each year for various reasons (moved to FL/AZ, disabled, dead, too expensive). Of the new members, usually 20 have an active GHIN handicap. About 5 each year do not have a GHIN handicap. When they join our club, we give each member a state association membership that includes GHIN handicapping services. We play a series of handicapped tournaments over the summer. When we sign up a new member who does not have a GHIN handicap, we attempt to give them an estimated index until they have sufficient scores posted to have an actual GHIN index.  Our first event typically is around May 15 so, in theory, a new member has about 6 weeks to post a few scores. Posting season in the Mitten starts April 1. Inevitably, several of the unhandicapped individuals seem  to either not play until the first tournament or can't figure out how to enter scores (hey, they are seniors). That situation then leads to my contacting the new member and asking a series of questions: a. Did you ever have a GHIN handicap? If yes, which State and do you recall what it was? b. Do you have an alternate handicap through a non-GHIN handicap service or a league? c. What do you think your average score was last year (for 9 or 18) d. What was your best score last year? Where did you play and which tee was used? e. What do you consider a very good score for yourself? Based on their responses I attempt to give them an index that makes them competitive in the first couple events BUT does not allow them to win their flight in the first couple events. We don't want the new members to finish last and at the same time, we don't want someone with a "20" playing handicap to win the third flight with a net 57. In the event some new member did shoot a net 57, we also advise everyone that we can and will adjust handicaps retroactively when it is clear to us that a member's handicap does not accurately reflect their potential. We don't like to adjust things retroactively and in the 8 years I have chaired the Handicap Committee, we have only done it once. So here are the questions to the mob: Any ideas how to do this better? Any questions one might ask an unhandicapped individual to better estimate their index/handicap? Would it be reasonable to have a new player play once (or more?) without being eligible to place in the money?
