I work for a Network Manufacturer with HQ's located in Silicon Valley. I have been consumed with other "hobbies"  for the last three 5 years or more but am now excited about picking up the game again. I work from a home office but do a lot of travel, mostly in the Western USA.

I'm in the Navy and will soon pick back up as a business major.  Started golfing heavily a few months ago with hopes to compete in, at least, local tournaments.  Unfortunately, I fractured my spine while snowboarding on New Year's Day, but I've healed enough to get out a play a little bit.  Played in a scramble over the past weekend and discovered I can drive the ball over 300 yards, straight.  Ready to fully heal so I can get back out there full time.

I am retired.  First from the Army after 21yrs, then from corporate life. I was the Sr Director of Technology Services working with media companies. One of our projects was http://www.augusta.com this at one time(before an disagreement with the PGA) was the largest Masters Tournament web site.

I used to get to go out prior to make sure the ISDN lines were functioning prior to the tournament starting.  The disagreement with the PGA was over live real time scoring online.  Still this site drew over 65 million page views last year.

Now, I take care of the honey-do lists, fly my airplane and play golf.

I am a strength and conditioning coach working for a MLB organization. I am currently with a minor league team and loving every minute of it. And it affords me plenty of time to golf.

I love to talk training so if anyone has questions, do not hesitate to ask.

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • 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?
