Oh wow, Dustin Johnson at +9 now. Just missing the water by an inch now or things would have gotten even worse, very bad round. Rory at +5. Looks like the wind is getting stronger.

I had a great day with friends and family today at the Tuesday Practice Round of the Honda Classic. We arrived early since I live about five minutes away. Sadly however, my phone died real fast. I was

I'm leaving for the pro-am in five minutes, so I'll get some more stuff later tonight. I've never been to the pro-am day, so I'm not sure what the protocol will be, but we'll see. Haha, if I se

Yeah, if I'm not mistaken...Rory's group is collectively at +19.

OUCH

But at least 2 of the 3 in that group are giving the fans what they want!

Dufner just doesn't look like Dufner. He's too damn slim now and he's got short hair. It's like Rick Vaughn losing the Wild Thing Haircut and glasses.

Yeah...I wonder if Amanda will dump him now as he is not the same guy she married.

Awesome videos! I think the cop likes you.  What was he saying when he made the starstuck comment?


Thanks, man.

I asked him how he got the job of following Rory around today, and he said that his boss, the chief or captain or whatever, who was also following Rory, likes him, he plays golf and the chief likes assigning cops who know the game, and that he's not starstruck by any of them.

Yea, he was a nice guy. He got yelled at by the captain a couple times for socializing too much :-D

Question, maybe you guys can educate me in this: at the PGA Tour website I also see projected FedEx Cup standings at the leaderboard of the tournament. However, next to Luiten his name (and also Bjorn and Gallacher for example), that field is completely blank. Does that mean they won't play in the FedEx Cup (or are not allowed), even if they will have a good season? Not PGA member or something like that?

Anyone?

Was probably comfortable being long haired, pudgy and having a big dip in his lower lip.

Thanks. Besides the WGC's and majors he's playing more PGA-tournaments then ET-tournaments this year, so I expected differently. But guess I could have known, since in his schedule he made room for the ET Final series.

      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?
