"Plastic and evil looking types"

What the hell? Do you know them personally? Did they run over your dog?

So what if he's married to a party girl? There's nothing wrong with party girls, just as they're is nothing inherently good about people who don't party

I've seen enough of the hideously narcissistic  instagram pouting, chicken legs, fake teeth, legs spread on a boat, and fake tan to make a superficial judgement.

I (strongly) disagree with this statement.  For the sake of this argument, lets assume that he does have a substance abuse problem; in which case, the LAST thing he should be worrying about is PR and

I have to come out and say it.. I agree with @Shorty on this one! I'm not feeling bad for the guy one bit IF this is drugs/alcohol (alcohol part is from me) related! Just none what so ever... It could be anything else and I would wish him well though, until more comes out he seems like a good guy and even someone who is down to earth worth having a coffee with! I guess I'm waiting to hear more to form a better formed opinion of the guy, not sure any detailed info will ever get out though!

I think he probably is a good guy and pretty down to earth. But I get the feeling he still likes his drugs/alcohol a bit much and being around her does not help the situation. He is not exactly Einstein upstairs either so that probably doesnt help with his decision making. Good for him to address whatever issue he truly has right now rather than waiting when its too late.

I also wonder if somebody has talked to him about it or if this was really from deep within to make this decision. Wonder if he has gotten any talks from some of the all time greats. The Great One himself however isnt exactly Mother Theresa.

If it is drugs, my sympathy is limited. Did he not get the memo that they have a tendency to do the opposite of what people think? The one that every child has been given on a weekly basis from age 5? If he's a "role model" and that's what he's out for, he has lost a supporter.

[quote name="Grndslmhttr3" url="/t/76216/dustin-johnson-taking-a-leave-of-absence-from-tour/40_10#post_1030343"]I don't think that's what Shorty was saying... [/quote] Maybe I misunderstood him.. I apologize in advance to @Shorty if that is the case! I will reiterate just in case... I have no sympathy what so ever for him if this is drug/alcohol related :) I don't expect many others to either, but it could be different for others depending on their experiences!

Pretty sure he hasn't wasted his talent being ranked 4th in FEX Cup points and 16 in OWGR.

I've seen enough of the hideously narcissistic  instagram pouting, chicken legs, fake teeth, legs spread on a boat, and fake tan to make a superficial judgement.

What is wrong with any of those things? Truthfully? What does it matter that they have fake tans? What does it matter they have 'chicken legs'? Legs spread on a boat. Christ almighty. Ain't nothing wrong with these women. They are allowed to live any way they want as long they aren't hurting anyone.

      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?
