I wish everyone would sound in with some trash talk. It would be nice to know who everyone's team is. Mine is pretty easy. Look for me at the top next week. I'm only 2,566 points behind. Just need to pick a winner!

I think we all need to de-throne Erik up there at the top and get his head back to normal size

Whatever happened to the Turlock Kid. He must be hiding out somewhere in the bottom of the standings.

I believe Turlock Kid's team is "Tiger's White Cousin" and TWC is in 13th place of 25 teams with scores greater than zero.

Damn, I thought I had a good team this week but I managed to fall from 3rd to 5th.
I guess all the guys that made it to the top of the leaderboard all had Phil on their team.
I see underparnv got his wish as he helped to de-throne Barzeski's Bombers.

Phil was the easy choice given that Tiger was away - when the cat's away, the mice will --- nevermind

On principle I cannot draft Phil...regardless of how well he plays. Maybe now he can use his winnings to buy a better outfit for his son....hope to do better next week! PA Hackers

Much to my surprise, my Tar Dogs have jumped into 6th place. And I notice (at least it seems as if) iacas, who hates winter (and, who with one of the Great Lakes in sight shouldn't?) has a new avatar. But I can't remember what his previous avatar was. But, I digress . . .

It was a Wii previously. I hate choosing

After starting off in last place (which will happen when you don't pick a team ), I've moved up to 12th. I really don't care where I finish as long as its one place higher than Cody.

No trash talk for a LONG time. I would at least expect to hear some chatter from the clairvoyant who picked Mark Wilson in the Honda Classic!

What's to say? I'm whipping all your asses! GO Barzeski Bombers!

    • 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.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • 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?
