Played a relatively difficult course today, Peabody Meadows, in Peabody. I played it last year and it got the best of me to say the least. Not much room off the fairway, lots of blind drives, high rough, quick enough greens, just a good challenge of a course. I played the other day and couldn't hit the ball the first 5 holes and realized I wasn't turning my hips at all, and after that I played the last 13 holes at +2 so I was hoping I would have some of that mojo working with me today. Well, it did. I shot a 79 (par 71). Shot a 37 on the back where my scorecard read 5, then all 4's the rest of the way. My driver was working all day. Everything had a slight fade, 260-275 yards, good stuff. My wedges and lower irons were off a bit which was really strange because those have been great lately. I haven't calculated my GIR and FIR and putts for the round, but my putter was hot. Anything inside 10 feet I was all over. Anything long got close to where I didn't have to even think about the 2nd putt. Very happy overall with the way I played.

Two months ago I read the Stack and Tilt book and incorporated a lot of the movements into my current swing. I try to stay more centered over the ball, keep my movement back to a minimum, take the club away deep and so far it's really helped out my game. 80 last week, 79 this week, things are working well. I've been hitting the ball a lot more consistently since incorporating S&T and I'm really hoping I can put a round together right around par sometime this year. We'll see.

      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

      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?
