JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Josh Scobee found out Thursday that a sense of humor and Twitter don't mix.

Scobee jokingly challenged Tiger Woods on Twitter to a skins match at San Jose Country Club in Jacksonville -- for $100,000 a hole -- and offered to give him two strokes a side.

begin inline 1 end inline 1

Quote:

Josh Scobee        ✔ @JoshScobee10 Follow

Tiger- meet me at San Jose Country Club tomorrow, $100,000 a hole. You get 2 a side.

6:54 PM - 11 Feb 2015

He didn't tag Woods in the tweet and followed it up with another tweet in which he said he meant to text that to Woods.

$100,000 a hole might get Phil's attention

ESPN article claims Scobee is a +3.  Scobee might be able to take a couple holes.

Stupid question: how does the two strokes a side get allocated in common gambling? Does it go by handicap numbers on the card or is it player's choice?

The strokes are allocated on the 2 lowest hcp holes per side.

....and if I had the cash, I'd back Tiger on this one!

Handicap. You would get a stroke on the #1, 2, 3, and 4 handicap holes. Edit: David beat me to it.

Yeah, playing to a +3 on a country club course is not the same as playing from the tour tips on a PGA tour conditions course. I think it would be hilarious if Tiger showed up, wearing a red shirt, with Joe Lacava on his bag and said he was ready to go.

I think Tiger would win this by a few holes, at least, and then he should donate the money to a worthy cause.

It would be cool if he won and went to a Jags game next year on the sidelines and waved the money at him when he attempted a fg.

Just like everything else with the Jaguars, it would be a losing proposition.

Hahaha, this made me chuckle.

I would have loved to see Tiger take this bet, if he wins, donate the cheese to the TW foundation.

I'd have laughed if TW came back with some tweet offering $100k if the Jags win over 4 games in 2015.

A bit of a low blow from Scobee in my opinion. As a professional athlete, he should know not to poke at somebody during a slump.

He's a kicker.  Athlete is a stretch.

Dude. Google Steve Weatherford, haha. I'd call him an athlete. I'd also call him "sir," just to be safe.

      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?
