Has anyone here been to a Monday Qualifier? Since there's so many great players playing tomorrow, I'm definitely going. Mayakoo Country Club is a private course - can I just show up and expect to follow my favourite players, or is there something I should know? Thanks in advance.

No idea, but @mvmac caddied in a Monday qualifier so perhaps he has some insight on spectator rules? I would bet it would be awesome just cuz there's likely nearly nobody there and probably not much in the way of ropes or other things preventing you from getting a great view of the players.

Try to call the club if you can to be sure. There typically isn't an issue with spectators.

This is why I like to go to US Open Sectional qualifying.  No crowds, great players to watch, a great course to see, and it is all free.  IMO it is the best bargain in golf viewing.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

I called the club and made sure spectators were welcome. What a great day I had. I followed Immelman's and Ilonen's group and was extremely impressed by the ball striking of both of them. Both ended up missing the cut comfortably, though, as 65 was the last score that made it to the playoff. I was also impressed by Marcel Siem and Tommy Gainey. What a powerful and unique swing Gainey has - maybe not the prettiest but I'd take his swing in a heartbeat. I recommend the Monday Qualifiers to everyone.

Also gives you some perspective of how tough the competition is when you have those kind of guys in Monday qualifiers.

Maybe some of our "I'm an 18 who has been playing for a year and my goal is to be Tiger Woods in 2 years" folks should attend one, LOL

Yeah, it's crazy really. To think that even if you had Rory playing, he probably wouldn't win a spot with 100+ others capable of playing 65 or lower. He'd be more likely to miss the cut than be in the top four, that is. What a tough road it is into the PGA Tour. I hope these qualifiers do well at Honda.

I think Siem and Ilonen are here for the WGC at Doral next week - Honda would have been a nice bonus.

      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.

      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?
