I heard some guy on ESPN yesterday saying that the wind had been so bad during practice rounds that guys couldn't even hit the green on par 3s while hitting driver.  It must have been those two holes they were talking about.

Thomas Bjorn played really well, and Tom Lewis really surprised me. I thought Lee Westwood would be up there but just played average.

... absolutely can't imagine trying to hit a green with a driver - I have a hard enough time hitting a FAIRWAY with my driver.

there's a course near my dad's house where i play from time to time. and for some silly reason, someone decided a 265 yard par 3(from the tips) was a good idea.

westwood employs one of two strategies when in majors. 1. he plays pedestrian for the first two and a half rounds, then somewhere on the back nine on saturday he goes on a tear for a round and a half and comes up 2 strokes short. 2. he plays fantastically the first three rounds, then decides on the 3rd hole that he couldn't be bothered and drops 5 shots, only to finish 2 strokes short.

perhaps this week he's going with #1

Think MrElculver2424  (and TigerSpuds) are referring to each other. Probably haven't got the nouse to offer a considered reply.

"Now on the tee, from SouthAfrica, Looostazn," is how it sounded to me when he introduced the defending champ.

      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."
