The US Open will never get shortened, IMHO. They'll keep at it until it's finished.....Wed, Thurs, whatever, it is what it is.

No doubt. This is the national championship of golf, not the Greater Hartford Open! Speaking of which, the Travelers Championship is probably going to get hit with a lot of high-profile withdrawals if this tournament extends into Monday.

In my UnderArmour Links stand bag...

Driver: '07 Burner 9.5° (stiff graphite shaft)
Woods: SasQuatch 17° 4-Wood (stiff graphite shaft)
Hybrid: 4DX Ironwood 20° (stiff graphite shaft)Irons/Wedges: Apex Edge 3-PW, GW, SW (stiff shaft); Carnoustie 60° LWPutter: Rossa AGSI+ Corzina...

Can we talk about ESPN's coverage here? Ravich (sp?) and "Boomer" know nothing about this game. I'd rather listen to Kelly Tighlman.

Berman might not know a ton about golf, but he knows sportscasting and he knows competition. I like him.

So Tiger and the others are done for the day?? That doesn't make sense.. why not play after the afternoon wave gets off considering what the weather might be tomorrow.

The USGA, I think, wants to preserve the traditional "flip-flopping" of the two waves between the first two rounds. Usually, the morning wave on Thursday becomes the afternoon wave on Friday, and vice versa. Not sure I agree with the USGA's decision here.

Anyone else notice how similarly Johan Edfors and Ryan Moore are dressed?

What's in my bag:

This is I think the first time that I've found broadcasting comments quite annoying. They need to hire some other people...

To add, I think this may be worse than some broadcasting of the LPGA McDonald Championship in Korean that I listened to.

Another thing to add, AK being 2 under right out the gate but you never know with him. Hopefully he keeps it going for today at least.

Just making sure, everyone hears the same broadcast whether they are watching on ESPN or USOpen.com right? Don't know what the names of these broadcasters are.

No, USOpen.com is using their own broadcasters.

      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?
