OK, I'll bite.

Yeah, we have all kinds of names for people from different geographic regions. But those names may change depending on who's doing the name calling. There are so many where do you start?

We call people from NY city "Yackers" up here. Vermonters call anybody from away "Flatlanders." Stupid, but true. They'll even call someone from the Rocky Mountain states a flatlander. People from Boston are "Bostonians" or "Brahmins". Natives of Long Island and the SE New England coast are known as "bonnackers", but almost no one uses that word any more, probably because there are no more bonnackers left. People outside Vermont may call Vermonters "Woodchucks". People from Maine may be called "Downeasters", "Mainers" or "Maineiacs." People who aren't very nice may call people from Massachusetts "M*******s" (usually after being cut off on the highway). People from Nova Scotia may be "Bluenoses" or if you are French, an "Acadian." For that matter, you have "Cajuns" in Louisiana. Newfoundlanders may be called "Newfies." I'm sure there are many more nicknames in the Northeast that I've missed.

Sometimes we use team names to describe people from different states (e.g. Buckeyes for people from Ohio, Sooners for people from Oklahoma, Razorbacks for people from Arkansas, etc.)

There are hundreds of examples.

In my bag:

Driver: Wishon 915CFE, 420cc, SK Fiber Lite Revolution I
Irons: Tommy Armour 845 FS - PW - 3
Hybrid: Adams Idea 21 deg.Wedges: Cleveland 900 52 deg., 56 deg. TA588 60 deg.Putter: Generic mallet style

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.

      I have access to far more data (including surveys and polls) than you do with your anecdotes. I mean this as plainly and literally as possible: you’ve demonstrated that you do not. They would, one way or the other.
