Likes:

Tiger - His accomplishments speak for itself. Still rooting for him to catch Jack

IK Kim - Yes she missed a 1-footer, but she showed a lot of class and kept her head up even after the loss. She's cute too...

Yani Tseng - My wife is Taiwanese so she and I cheer for her.

Dislikes:

Gary McCord - His inability to STFU during his commentary and his stupid mustache puts him at the top of my list

Phil - When I started playing and watching golf, I couldn't stand listening to Phil because he sounds like he's trying to sell something to you even if it was at a press conference.

Rory Sabbatini - He's a douche...

Best Regards,
Ryan

Mic, not Mac.

I am pretty sure the pronunciation has to do with what letter follows the "c."  Nothing more, nothing less.  Micilroy just sounds odd, macilroy sounds right.  Compare it to McIntyre.  That is also pronounced with a "mac" and would sound funny with a "mic" ... I don't think it's a coincidence.

Anyway ...

I like to watch:

Rory McIlroy (not because he's a good golfer, just because I like how he pronounces his name)

Nick Watney (hometown guy)

Graeme McDowell

There really isn't anybody I dislike.  I pretty much always root for everybody except the leader because I'm always hoping for drama.

I don't follow the tour players much at all but from what I've seen pop up in the news...  Mickelson seems like a little bit of a spaz but in a friendly funny way.  Garcia and Bubba Watson sound like pretty big tools.

Tiger Woods - I enjoy watching myself on film from time to time

Rory Mc (can never spell his last name)

Phil Mickelson - Phil the thrill

Least Favorite:

Henrik Stenson - Ever since that time he took of his clothes...

John Daly - Disgrace to golf

The baby walrus - Another disgrace to golf. The guy is fat as f*ck and doesn't even try half the time.. yet some how shoots good. All in all, he's disgusting to watch.

Favorites:

Tiger- Reminds me of myself. B-) Always fun to watch.

Dufner- Love his style, or lack thereof.

Dustin Johnson- Likeable guy

Least Favorites:

SERGIO- Takes the cake easily on this one. Can't stand the guy.

John Daly- Was given a gift and seems to take it for granted. He just gets under my skin. Seems to disrespect the game to me.

Miguel Angel Jimenez- I can't justify why I don't like him, and really I don't think that I truly don't like him, I just root against him. Really have no solid reasoning for this one. He just rubs me wrong.

      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?
