Don't know how many of you can access BBC i player, but if you can you will be treated to 60 minutes showing a young man with great humility.

One telling comment was from the Editor of Golf World or Golf Digest saying 'It will be nice to have an Icon who doesn't treat the world as a spitoon'.

He already is a mini one to be fair. Especially in Europe where George O'Grady has compared him to Elvis

I would say right now he's the hot topic in golf ( except for Woods ), but I wouldn't call him an icon yet. An icon is a player you remember in 50 years for achievements, Rory has nto achieced enough yet - but he most likely will

BBC i player is available on many TVs, certainly on your computer. ( it can be downloaded). It's a facility offered by the BBC to view already broadcast programmes. There are another 5 days to view this particular documentary. Cannot recall it was shown England - BBC have slightly different programmes in different areas. I assume this was shown NI. ( Rorys nationality)

Just type in Rory using the search facility.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
