Checking out the Golf.com website had me shaking my head in amazement over the coverage given to the clothes the pros will be

wearing over the four days outstripping the discussion of their chances.It seems like the game has taken a backseat to the fashion industry with peacocks like Ricky Fowler and Ian Poulter and others seemingly only playing to push the clothing line of their backers.....You get ad breaks through the coverage and then you get walking ads from Puma, Adidas, Callaway etc even on the course....God bless capitalism.

Whats the problem? Without those golf manufacturers advertising, you would not have any golf to watch.

There are walking advertisements in every sport? Thats part of it I don't know where you've been the last century but its called endorsements. X pays Y a butt load of money only to get in return a s*** load of money because, well I guess you don't own a single piece of clothing that has any kind of golf logo or golf brand on it... or any golf clubs or golf balls.

Nothing has ever influenced you to buy a hat or shirt or golf bag??

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By DaveP043 · Posted

      In the old days, pre-2020, "playing to your handicap" meant a net score about equal to the Course Rating.  that led to problems when people played against each other from different tees, people playing tees with a lower CR would generally shoot lower scores.  Course Handicaps were adjusted for each competition to make it even, usually lowering the course handicap for the "forward tee" players. So now if you "play to your handicap", the (68.4-72) term means your score will be even par, no matter which tees you play from.  No adjustment needed for people playing from different tees.  Look at your example, the guy shoots 82 every time, his Course Handicap of 10 gives him an even par net score every time.
