I just realized that I never posted to this thread.

I'm a Configuration Manager for a defense company in the DC Metro Area. There are processes and procedures that need to be followed, people. (No one ever likes the CM guy.)

And I work in Falls Church, but live in Fredericksburg. Anyone who lives in this area will know how miserable I am every morning and afternoon.

how did you get into that?

I started out as an apprentice at 15 years old, hanging drywall and framing with steel studs in commercial spaces. In between finishing high school and doing some college, I joined the union and worked my way up to journeyman and then foreman. The VP of the company I worked for in California offered me a position in the office, which I jumped at. That was going on 5 years ago. I'm up in Washington now, doing the same thing at a much bigger company.

It's a really cool profession - lots of stress and hours at times, but we have alot of fun, and it's always challenging. I miss being in the field, but my golf swing and flexibility have improved a ton since becoming an office guy.

    • 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?
