Also is anyone interested in doing a Michigan TST 2022 outing?

I am in Ann Arbor so those locations are too far west.  I hope you can round up some westsiders.

As far as a Mitten Meet-up, a couple of us are playing Leslie Park in A2 on 7/14/2022.  We the "Michigan Club" for details.

I can make a drive, that isn't a issue, if it's a planned meetup on a saturday or sunday, that is fine by me, just give me a bit of a heads up...     I've played a few of the courses over in the Livonia area with my brother...         I've never played the MSU course ( hint hint ) lol         Midweek is basically a no go for me because of work.

Not sure where @David L Yskesis located ("West Michigan" covers a lot of area) but I am north of Detroit, @bkuehn1952is A2 and @dennyjones is Grand Blanc.  Would Lansing area be a good central location for a Michigan TST Meetup?  I do not know courses in that area, just looking at a map for  a somewhat central area then we could look for a course.

I know weather could be an issue, but maybe mid-late September?

Yea I am good with meeting up in Lansing, 

I live in Fennville, which is about 25mins southwest of Grand Rapids, but getting to Lansing isn't that tough for me.

    • 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?
