Unless you are talking about an outlier St Andrews Old Course double hole complex like 1 & 18, that doesn't make sense. 

Do you have any other examples? 

I dont write them all down. Lots where they play from another fairway. Today was a good day at the  Memorial. Lead ended at  -6. Even Rahm has a  chance now. 

Same dumb schtick since joining.

This almost never happens.

I know… because I'd see it in the ShotLink data. Sorry, bud.

But a higher percentage of players broke par today (43%) vs yesterday (33%) and yesterday was a boring birdie fest according to you.

What made today "a good day" in your opinion? Provide facts.

So which one is it? A boring birdie fest or a good tournament?

Rory was using a Smart Ball to keep the club/arms in front of him more in the backswing, 

Really?? I've always thought that his keeping his arms in front of him has been a major key of his swing and he just knew how to do it

As @iacasmentioned that it is also an outlier. But still, what's that gotta do with course set up? How does growing rough to five inches prevent that from happening?? Should they grow taller trees next?

Gotta love it when someone makes a broad statement, gets asked for some specific examples, and comes up empty.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

It was a  good  day  because the  lead  didnt get above  -6,  Very  glad Hovland won. It  is so aggravating to see a one week wonder that  cant  miss anything  win. -7 is a good winning score. Jack should design all courses.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA 

Just stop dude. It's embarrassing.

How is someone who is top 50 in the season long standings, has 5 top 10s this season considered a one week wonder??

Nope, I should. I'll make tougher courses than Jack!!! Zero birdies all week on my courses now that's a promise!

      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

      By mdl · Posted

      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?
