Hi, longtime lurker and finally took the plunge. I first played in 2001, but never took it seriously until 3 years ago. I have been able to get from 36 to 21.2 in these 3 years, and finally broke 90 for the first time a few weeks ago, and was able to do it again the next time.

Looking forward to posting and debating with all of you....

Welcome from the HOT! state of Tennessee.

You aren't kidding! But I won't let the heat stop me from playing!

Welcome from a fellow Tennessean! This is a GREAT site!!!

Thanks! There seems to be a good sized contingent from the Volunteer State. We'll have to have a group outing sometime, LOL!

Welcome to the forum! Speaking of debating, how do you think the Titans will do this season? The last two have been weird for them, to say the least.

Welcome to the forum! Speaking of debating, how do you think the Titans will do this season? The last two have been weird for them, to say the least.

Realistically, 8-8 is what I see. A few good breaks will make them 10-6; a few bad breaks will make them 6-10. Too many questions on the defensive side of the ball , plus Chris Johnson is not going to have another season like he did last year (despite his bold predictions.) Defensive coordinators have been working all of these months to take him out of the gameplan, and make Vince Young beat them with his arm. Vince is still a kind of unknown, and the Titans don't have any receivers or tight ends that put fear in the opponent.

I'm hoping for the best, and will be there at LP Field cheering them on. But I'm not blind to reality.

Thanks Don. I'm a big Titans fan and I think you've very succinctly stated the problem - defense. It's not implausible that Chris Johnson could have a season like last year but I'm not holding my breath. On the offensive side I think Vince has matured somewhat but I have to agree that they lack any real superstars at the tight end or wide receiver position although their draft picks could deliver in that department. After a near comeback against Seattle last night I'm not expecting much since they shouldn't have let themselves get that far behind in the third quarter.

      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?
