Phillip Glass- Pruit Igoe: A haunting yet very well done modern Classical piece.

Philip Glass is almost 80 and still incredibly prolific, very active on The Facebook. He's composing the soundtrack for the upcoming Fantastic Four reboot which is weird. Battlestar Galactica used one of his piano pieces in an episode. A whole bunch of pianists are releasing their interpretations of his Etudes. His older works were more atonal, his more recent pieces are more melodic, for him. Sometimes playing his pieces can be mind numbing. Measure 44, measure 45, measure 46, measure 47, measure... I forget, what measure was I in, aw **** it, who's gonna notice?

Philip Glass playing in the background of Battlestar Galactica. How cool is this? Chills.

    • 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.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • 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?
