I just completed my BBIV application , and man is it thorough. Fifty-three questions plus an essay, but why not at least give myself a chance. Why not have everyone on the forum apply just for the heck of it. If one of us gets on, we can plug TST.com till people's ears bleed ! I'd really like to see if the show really is more difficult than a tournament. Hopefully we'll see.

Sweet, thanks for the link. I was looking for the application right after BBII ended. I applied to BBII, thought it was great but never heard back. Are you guys going to include a photo? I think that's what I was missing last time. An essay though huh? Man, did I HATE English classes in school.

If I were going to apply (I'm not, I think it's more fun to comment on those that do ), I'd watch all the episodes where they show part of the interviews. Look at how the people who didn't make it acted and look at how the people who did make it acted.

TGC wants good television first and foremost, I bet. There will be plenty of good golfers applying - tons - but how many have a personality that makes for good TV?

Type A personalities, people. Everyone hated Don in BBII, but had that guy gone after episode II, TGC would have felt the impact.

Got it, I'll just shake like I've got Parkinson's syndrome every time I need to tee up a ball. After any possible ruling, I'll call for an official and take an hour to plead my case and then I'll throw a fit and break my clubs after every errant shot!

I'll be a shoe-in!

Practice saying "Pull the tape tight!

Pull it tight! " twenty times before going to bed.

      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?
