Hello everyone my name is Tyler. Just joined the site and I am really looking forward to meeting some people that have the same passion as me. I've been golfing off and on for quite sometime now, I remember being the kid going to the course with my dad and putting and chipping when my father was on the green of that hole. I played in high school and really enjoyed it, and miss it. Now I am in the Air Force stationed in Northern California and have really gotten back in to the game. I am at the point that I shoot usually in the low 80's sometimes in the high 70's. I know I have the game to break through to the next level, foundation is there just need the proper blueprints. My ultimate goal is to be a scratch golfer, may seem like a long shot some may think. Just wanted to say hi to everyone and looking forward to meeting you all.

-Tyler

Hey Tyler. Progress is always there to be made.  Set a goal, and each time you practice and play, know that you are actively working towards reaching that goal. Good Luck!

    • 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?
