I HAVE TO SAY I LOVE THE GAME OF GOLF AND THE LAST FEW YEARS HAVE BECOME ADDICTED TO IT (AS MUCH AS MY SONS BALL SCHEDULE WILL LET ME) BUT I WENT OUT WITH A COUPLE FRIENDS THAT SHOOT AROUND THE MID 90'S SATURDAY AND PLAYED A ROUND. STARTED OFF ON THE BACK 9 AND MADE PAR THEN BOGEY (THAT SHOULDA BEEN PAR) THEN CAME #12 PAR 3 SLIGHTLY UPHILL ELEVATED GREEN (MY GPS ON MY PHONE SD 168YDS) AND I HAVE TO ADMITT THIS HOLE IS NOT BEEN VERY GOOD TO ME IN THE PAST.... SO ANYWAY I APPROACHED THE BALL WITH A 6 IRON STRUCK IT GOOD STRAIGHT TO THE FLAG STICK JUST A LITTLE LEFT OF IT, IT HIT THE FRONT OF THE GREEN AND KICKED EVER SO SLIGHTLY TO THE RIGHT.... MY BUDDY LOOKED AT ME AND SAID THAT PROBABLY WENT IN THE HOLE, I LAUGHED. THEY HIT WE DROVE TO THE TOP OF THE GREEN AND I COULDNT SEE MY BALL THERE BALLS WAS LONG AND THE OTHER WAS TO THE LEFT OF THE GREEN. I SAID TO THEM SURELY IT DIDNT HAVE THAT MUCH SPEED TO ROLL OF THE GREEN.... HE SD "MAN I BET U ACED IT" I WENT INTO A SLOW TROT TO THE CUP... AND TO MY DISBELIEF IT WAS IN THE CUP!!!!!! I COULDNT BELIEVE IT.... BCSE I HAVE NEVER CAME AS CLOSE TO 10 FT FROM THE CUP ON A PAR 3. I HAVE TO SAY WAS SUPER EXCITED. BY NO MEANS DID I MEAN TO I JUST TRY TO GET CLOSE. HAHA. FOUR GUYS ON ANOTHER TEE BOX SAW IT GO IN BCSE WHEN WE WAS GETTING CLOSE TO THE GREEN ONE WAS HOLDING THE "TOUCHDOWN" SIGN UP WITH HIS HANDS. I THOUGHT HE WAS SAYING I WAS THAT CLOSE.I AM NOT THE TYPE GOLFER THAT HITS CONSISTENT AND WILL PROB NEVER DO IT AGAIN!!!!! BTW I SHOT THE BEST SCORE I HAVE EVER PLAYED (88) AND SHOULDA BEEN A 86.... BUT I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THE SCORE AND THE SHOT!!!! THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE MY EXCITMENT FROM SATURDAY THAT CARRIED OVER THE WEEKEND......

Nice story and congrats on the Ace. By the way how much did the round of drinks cost you after the game? You did take your friends out for a drink after didn't you?

It ain't bragging if you can do it.

      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?
