Believe it or not, today I just received the little iPhone holder thingie that attaches to an alignment rod so I can video my swing. Just remember, the bell cannot be un-rung. Once you see my swing, the damage could be irreversible! ;-)

Thanks to everyone that wanted to participate.  I kept the list to members in warmer climates, like the OP said.  I had members PM that live in NY, OH, IL saying they play all year long.  While I would have loved to give them balls, I'm just trying to accommodate Bridgestone's request and I can't take some people in that part of the country and exclude others.

But I told you I was heading south!  What, three hours south of Albany to NYC isn't far enough? :-O:-\:hmm:

      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?
