Hi everybody.  I've been stalking around the site for awhile and decided to finally join in on the conversation.  I've been golfing for exactly one year and have gone from shooting 120+ to low-mid 80's consistently.  I'm hoping to break the 80 barrier by the end of summer.  I practice everyday for at least 2 hours and play at least once a week and absolutely love the sweat, tears, and occasional blood that I've put into this fantastic game.

When I'm not at the range, practice green, or course, I'm a college student majoring in Business Administration with a minor in International Business and Computer Science at Pittsburg State (home of the Gorillas).  Since starting college three years ago, I started two different companies (online retail and web design firm respectively) and am interested in continuing being my own boss after graduating.

My favorite golfers include Tiger Woods, Bubba Watson, Rickie Fowler, Rory McIlroy, and Tom Watson.  I also love David Feherty for his humor, honesty, and sincerity.

Well, that's all for now.  I hope to get to know a few of you and until then, happy golfing!

Welcome to The Sand Trap! Very impressive to go from the  120's to mid 80's. Make sure you share what worked and what didn't as you lowered your score.

Welcome!

      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?
