Dear Golf Community,

I am a golfer that has rediscovered golf after an injury. I was able to hit golf balls from my wheelchair at a driving range this summer. I have found that there is actual equipment that will help stand me up so I can get a full swing in. I am wondering about funding opportunities or golf organizations that might help me get back on a course. I would love to talk to anybody that might have suggestions. 

Pleas respond to the thread. 48983370-2BE1-4D58-BD8B-01DCFF14C442.thumb.jpeg.19f822446bcb46ac2dd0306f62276b3e.jpeg

What kind of equip is available? The only thing I’m aware of is exoskeleton high tech type that seems to still be in the research stages.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
