Been reading the forums for a few months every now and again and figured I would join. Picked up golf when I was 13 or 14 in Massachusetts and am now living in South Florida, golfer's paradise! I met one of my goals this year playing Pacific Dunes.

Thank you. I actually played there in March. Caught a rare sunny and warm day during the time of year. The course is absolutely beautiful, but quite the challenge. The greens are incredibly fast and challenging. The entire Bandon Dunes resort is just awesome, definitely make the trip someday if you can!

I'm looking forward to playing Osprey. I've mostly been playing Delray Beach GC this year, but I've made it out to a few others.

Thanks for the recommendation, I have heard good things about Osprey. If either of you haven't played it yet, check out the Links at Madison Green in Royal Palm Beach. Beautiful course!

      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?
