I only skimmed through it. Two things i noticed. He drinks buttered coffee (I bought this up awhile back.)

And this:

Quote:
Hunter, what are some examples of swing thoughts that you use or have used while playing in tournaments? Or if you have any current ones, what are they?

One swing thought, right now, is to have a steeper shoulder-turn on the way back, on my backswing.

And pushing off my right foot and keeping my right heel on the ground on the downswing.

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

Hmmm...I think I keep my right foot on the ground too long, I'm not pushing off enough... He seems like a likeable guy.

That's not as bad as me who keeps too much weight back.

Good stuff, thanks for sharing. I also enjoy playing older courses, haven't gotten a chance to play Riviera yet.

LOL at the current top question:

"Who is the worst person on tour to play with and why is it Rory Sabbatini?" :-P

      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?
