Excellent!  When do you open in Vegas?

If you don't mind used, pick up a Leupold GX-1 on e-bay.  Mine has been very reliable.

I second the Leupold GX-I... I love mine and lasers are more accurate than GPS, plus they're ready to go on ANY course. The only downside is you have to be able to see your target, so if you have a lot of blind shots that you need distances than a GPS may be better, but otherwise go with the laser.

If you want something crazy simple check out one of the gps watches that are out. Never have to dig in your bag for a gps or take the laser our of its holder.

But if you really want to the FLAG youll be happier with a laser to get the most accurate info. The Bushnell and Leupold are both good ones to check out. Also depends on if you want to see the slope, if you want a screen with a red display or black, etc.

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • 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.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • 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?
