I agree. The coolest thing about the coverage has been the giant rams lounging by the greens

Congratz to Bill, silver spoon or not.. :roll: Was a great win for him. Also, that Justin Thomas kid can really smash a golf ball.. :bugout:

Good things are sure to come his way.

BTW, what does, sliver spoon, have to do with any of this..??????

Maybe he's suggesting a physical resemblance to Ricky Schroeder?

Today I was pretty busy so missed most of the tournament but I really didn't care too much. I'm sure there are some great stories about guys I've never heard of but if some of my favorites aren't in contention or I have another reason to be interested, I just won't mind missing the final round.

Kudos to the PGA Tour for all the great angles on this swing. I think I saw a pronounced motorcycle rev/L wrist bow before impact. Cool shot. From DTL, it looks like he toe'd it.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Congrats to Bill Haas on a very tight knit tournament win. Poor Erik Compton couldn't get a putt to drop :(

    • 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?
