Quick thinking Lee!

From Golf.com

http://www.golf.com/2015/01/21/report-lee-westwood-saves-drowning-man-barbados

by Marika Washchyshyn

Lee Westwood was in the right place at the right time while vacationing in Barbados last week, where he charged into the ocean to save a man from drowning, the Birmingham Mail reports.

Westwood and his family were seated on the beach beside Colin Davies' family when Davies decided to go for a swim. Davies, a British millionaire who suffers from Parkinson's Disease, was out of his wife's earshot when his legs locked up and he started to flounder.

The 41-year-old Westwood jumped into the water and rescued Davies before he went under.

Awesome story indeed. Lucky for him that Lee was paying attention, it's so easy for some of these currents to pull you in quick without anyone noticing. I'm happy it ended well!

The earlier comments about "he knew the risks" is a satire line from Airplane! Intended to be tongue in cheek. Too bad Westwood wasn't there to help Allenby in Hawaii....

No idea, and I saw that movie, and don't call me Shirley. I just didn't understand any part of that post from word 1 to the censored emoji.

Me either. I'll take his word for it but I don't remember that line. All I know is that I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue!

The airplane reference was the only thing I understood. Maybe I'm wrong and it wasn't a reference....scary. Oh, and Leon's getting larger!

      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?
