Hey Guys and Gals! I'm from the Pacific Northwest and Golf season just went into effect as of March 1. Really excited to get things rolling this year. Heck, already had a tournament this past Sunday and cashed out with some prizes for performance on overall and skins!

Pretty exciting way to open things up for a new golf year.

I'm looking forward to checking out your forum! I've also got some extra golf equipment that some of you may be interested in? Most notably my Bushnell Tour V2 w/ custom skinz cover that still has a year or so on the factory warranty.

I just bought new clubs this year for myself. I got the Nike VRS Cavity Irons.

I love the sport, I love there rich history and I enjoy the competition aspect too.

Thanks for having me as a part of the forum!

Welcome to the forum! I'm a new transplant to the Pacific NW. I can't wait for the weather to permit me some golf! There's a marketplace section of the forum if you're interested in selling things, such as your Bushnell Tour V2 -- the exact rules are posted in that area.

Funny thing is... they won't let me be a part of the market place without jumping through their hoops. I'm not into those kinds of games... It's too bad as all I wanted to do was pay it forward within the golf community rather than join the rat race on ebay or craigslist. Two thumbs down for the rules and the admins who admittedly allow certain people to shortcut the rules but then decline to me after I wrote a detailed letter to them about my purpose and intent.

Shame shame.

Those rules are simply that you must be an Established Member. The only people (two) we've changed those rules for are people we know personally, in real life.

The rules exist for a reason. You can give them all the thumbs down you want, but they're there to protect our members. Our Marketplace is free, and we simply ask that you have 25 posts and be a member for 30 days. These rules have existed for nearly a decade.

Your purpose and intent was to do the same as everyone else who seeks special treatment: to be able to profit by selling something to golfers without giving anything back. Shame shame.

      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?
