I'll check on my IV later today if I remember. I am not sure I've ever had to adjust it, but I must have, right?

I would assume as everyone has slightly different variances on eye relief.  I was checking out all the various sights and they all say there is a "clicking" diopter for the GX 3i..I tried turning th eyepiece but it does not want to budge..unless I'm baby-ing it.

Okay, called the guys at Leupold.  Turns out the diopter is very tight when they ship (makes sense).

Anyway, take a firm grasp of the rubber eyepiece and slowly turn in both directions (kinda like a rocking motion, back and forth)..after a bit it will loosen up and voila! The eyepiece should move in both directions (left and right) and it's very smooth..so nice.  You can feel the "click" but it's very muted and smooth..feels like your adjusting the heavy focus on fine lens..which it is right?

I don't know the technical term, but are you talking about the distance of your focus? I believe this is what I adjust when turning the eyepiece on my GXII. I keep mine fixed on best focus at around 140 yards.

Yes, more or less, the relief when you get looking through the eyepiece.  Mine was really stiff in the beginning to get it rotating.  Think I adjusted mine to around 165..closest thing I could range on in that distance..lol

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      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.

      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?
