I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with your take, but that number is ridiculous. Based on a quick perusal of the player bios on pgatour.com, the median is closer to 180. (And I didn't click on every single player, but I didn't see a single one less than 150.)

Phil claims his weight is 200, but my guess is that's a best case number and he's usually around 220+

[/quote] I was being slightly sarcastic about the 150...sorry. But I wouldn't say that the average is much more than 160-165. And everyone knows that athletes boost up their height and weight in their bios. Short skinny guys make it seem they are taller and heavier and fat guys make it seem like they lighter. Ie..man boobs mickelson

The average is not 160-165. It's higher.

And I think everyone sees through the "sarcasm" claim. You were being serious, and when called out on it, try to pass it off as "sarcasm."

What on earth could this possibly mean?

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

weren't you guys talking about physical stature. I said "luke" meaning "look" at Luke Donald because he's small. "luke" (look) LUKE Donald.

your the boss, if your going to close it, do it quick, rather than have people write down their snooty comments about me. Don't look back in anger, right?

What could ever be said that tops your own words and actions?

      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."
