I am tired....to death...of this coverage of Pebble Beach. Show the course, show shots, stop with the commercials for every lame show on your network. This is a great venue with great views, I don't care about Bill Murray, I want to see Pebble Beach. It makes me wish the Golf Network did all the tournaments...and I know that is no great solution.

I have to agree with you. They have one of the most scenic places on earth, with one of the world's premier historic golf courses, and with the weather conditions this week the place looks stunning. Instead we're insulted with shot after shot of mediocre to bad golf from celebs and inane interviews. Ever since it stopped being the "Crosby" this tourney goes down further each year.

I just finished reading Dodson's biography of Hogan and was surprised that Hogan loved to play in the Crosby each year, but it was also clear that back then it had actual celebs trying to be regular people while enjoying golf with the pros, whereas now it has turned into a publicity-seeking jaunt for celebs to pump up their shows and egos. I'm just so glad the Open returns to Pebble next year - perhaps TV will finally give the place the respect it deserves again.

There are a few celebs with great game--Kelly Slater can really play. I am profoundly jealous of a 9 time world champion bachelor surfer that travels constantly to the world's best beaches and has likely dated the world's most amazing beauties (including a young Pam Anderson).......and he has a 2 handicap.....and millions.

Saturday is usually the worst day... All of the "celebs" play Pebble Beach on Saturday... Sunday is usually better... Jim Nantz will throw out a line like "the weather is partly Crosby"... Ken Venturi mentioned the Crosby telecast spiral in his book... Specifically when Nantz said "Everybody loves Raymond" and Venturi replied "well, not everybody"... Romano apparently wasn't too happy... Venturi was greatness

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By iacas · Posted

      https://www.usga.org/content/usga/home-page/handicapping/world-handicap-system/world-handicap-system-usga-golf-faqs/faqs---calculate-course-handicap-and-playing-handicap.html That's up to you and the league. You can do a percentage, or just do 100%. If they're already salty about a 12.4 becoming a 10… I don't know that docking it to an 8 with 80% will go over all that well. If the higher handicaps are winning way too often, a percentage is often warranted. It affects them more than the low handicappers (22 x .2 = 4.4, 2.2 x .2 = 0.44).

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      Of course, what I also should have asked is "what handicap should be used in a league? The "Course Handicap" or the "Playing Handicap" and if the latter, what allowance should be made for non-elite stroke play competition? (95% of C.H.? 90%? or forget about the playing handicap altogether?

      Dave's Journey With the Rules of Golf

      By p1n9183 · Posted

      I'll keep the rule only if the water is visible above the surface either where the ball is placed or a normal stance would take place. If not, play ball. I took this the same as a divot, just bad luck. Adjust for a saggy/wet lie and hit the ball. (maybe put on your rain clothes before :D)
