Hello, just came across this site/forum for the first time today. It looks great!

I live in Southern Ontario, and golf with my wife at Twenty Valley Golf & Country Club . I'm a web developer by trade, and actually designed and maintain our club's website.

Nice to be here!

Welcome from Guelph!  I had the opportunity to play down in Welland (LochNess or whatever the new name is) last weekend and I'm jealous of how much greener everything is down there!

Thanks bradsul, I used to live near Fergus. Great area. Where do you normally play? I have played Guelph Lakes Golf & Country Club before.

This spring has been amazing. I was able to get out the day our club opened...March 22nd! Last year was so wet we were basically into June before the course was ready for heavy play.

They are calling on snow in our area today. Hopefully it doesn't happen!

I play all over, but if I had to pick a 'home course' it would be either Victoria Park East or Savannah Golf Links (south end of Cambridge).  I've played Guelph Lakes a few times, great course but I think they over-charge for it.

Calling for snow here today as well, Saturday is supposed to be nice though. Hopefully I can get out at least once this weekend!

      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?
