HI I just stumble across this site and signed up immediately. Of all things, I was researching push/pull cart reviews when I found this site. Looks like a great site, hope to be here when I am not on the course.

I live in the Inland Empire area, have been away from golf for over 10 years, wasn't really into it so much. Recently went to the range to hit some balls, most to get away from my desk during lunch and got addicted right away.

I have been bouncing around with clubs and have finally settled (for now) on a driver, 3 wood, fairwaywood, set of irons and putter. Even busted the bucks for a new bag.

After going to play about 4 or 5 rounds, it was painfully apparent I needed lessons, so I went to my local course, took lessons and now try to play 2 - 3 times a week. Have a standing par 3 game in So. Pasadena on Thursday evenings, the rest of the time I am trying to con a friend into playing.

My wife loves the fact i am getting some exercise, I am more relaxed.

Now I am just checking outt different courses all over the LA, OC & SD area.

Score is dropping slowly, but dropping.

If you are in the so cal area and want to play a round, hit me up.

friends call me a "Golf Ho" since I will drive anywhere and play with pretty much anyone who has the time.

I think you'll find this site to be a great golf "oasis"

I'm in San Diego and there are some really nice courses down here, Torrey Pines, Encinitas Ranch, Maderas

Hi Par 40, I'm in Southern California as well. Glad to hear you're getting settled. I've been here for just over two years. Would love to play a round sometime. Have you ever played over at Lost Canyons in Simi Valley?

Well as a self proclaimed golf-ho you have found the right place..... There are tonnes of great courses in the area and I am sure that you will find many other people willing to hit up the links with you. In fact I live in SoCal my self - Santa Monica - and am always up for a game. No regular time I just try and get our whenever I can.

      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

      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?
