Are you speaking of Peter JACOBSON, the actor? If so, I find him delightful, and think he has a good range of skills, but comedy is probably the weakest. If you're speaking of Peter Jacobsen, the golfer, I find him a little troubled. I'm sure he's still haunted about what happened at the Lufthansa German Open in 1985, buy that's food for another thread. Funny? He has some moments.

Ha, good one... You and Jacobson should take your acts on the road...

I don't find him particularly objectionable, but I also don't find him funny.

The problem for Jacobsen/Feherty/McCord is that professional golf is just not funny.  I mean can you think of one golfer ever that is a funny guy?  Maybe Lee Trevino.  But he was bitter/funny, not ha ha funny.  Professional golf is just too damn serious.

The "funniest" thing that we see all year is Bill Murray wearing a stupid hat or the caddy races at the 16th hole of the Waste Management Phoenix Open. Hillarious! Not exactly Richard Pryor.

The funniest stuff happens about 10 levels below professional golf.  My round has more humor in 9 holes than i see all year on the tour.

well, I think Woody Austin was funny as hell! I loved watching his bizarre on course behavior! reminds me of some of my wacky stuff I have done. He seems funny too. Not a boring, robot like...Kutchner, Duffner and many others.

Jacobsen is a character.  One of the years that I marshaled the 17th hole during the International at Castle Pines, Peter missed the cut, but stayed for the weekend.  He spent Saturday and Sunday in one of the corporate boxes in back of the 17th green, getting a bit lubricated and talking to and harassing the players as they walked from the green to the 18th tee, and kidding around with the fans.  He was a one man floor show, and everyone seemed to get a kick out of it, including the players who were the targets of his ribbing.  I got the feeling that he just likes people and the whole Tour scene, regardless of whether or not he's playing or how well he's playing.

some golfers are funny to look at  --- but golfers do tend to take themselves very seriously, even fans.

      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?
