A golf instruction book by someone who's never given a lesson......sounds about right. http://classicsofgolf.com/brandel/ [QUOTE]I am working on an instruction book that is going to change how golfers think about the swing. It will focus on the common positions great golfers share and will show how every golfer can incorporate them into their swing for better ball striking, more consistency, lower scores and maximum enjoyment.[/QUOTE]

"The expert golfer has maximum time to make minimal compensations. The poorer player has minimal time to make maximum compensations." - And no, I'm not Mac. Please do not PM me about it. I just think he is a crazy MFer and we could all use a little more crazy sometimes.

If Chamblee can do it, maybe I should try to publish my own golf book. Mine's is already written too. Folks will buy his, so I have to assume those same folks would also buy mine. :-P

We can take bets on this. I put the over under on 1/3 of the entire book. Then another 1/3 dedicated to saying Butch Harmon is a god. The remaining 1/3 on how biomechanics (like Sean Foley) and technology are ruining golfers.

Damn, I just about wrote the whole thing for him.

We have a winner!  I would add that the forward will be about how to attain a really cool hair style for the camera.

What?  Bashing instruction daily and now he's jumping in thinking a book from him is exempt from his own criticism.  WOW.  He must be broke.  I'm looking forward to the day I don't have to listen to him on GC or anywhere else

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.

      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.
