Spent yesterday at Chambers Bay. What a fantastic course, just stunning to behold and looks like so much fun to play. I will have to play it in a season or two when I'm ready. I have to say that there

Well, it's been ages since I posted here, former writer at TST. I spent the Tuesday practice round and Thursday at Chambers Bay. It is expansive. Beautiful views of the sound and a golf course that lo

I'm looking at the scorecard. They say with my driving distance I should play the white tees 6000 yds. That's rated 76.2/137 for women. I think I'd shoot about a 140.

He's in no condition to run - might have a heart attack even at his age. He looks as soft the Pillsbury Doughboy.

Looks like Lefty and Bones are having their typical back and forth about yardages and clubs........how I'd love to hear Phil throw out something like "I don't know what the **** to hit, Bones.....this goat farm they call a golf course -----gimmie a ****ing shovel".

My mom on Chambers Bay: "Why does it look so shitty, and ugly there? Not like the Masters, that was gorgeous". So that settles it.

I have to admit, it does look ugly.

I think it looks amazing!

He also said that the watering for a course of 7800yds is so much! 1) Has he looked at the TV yet? Does it look wet and green? 2) The PNW rains quite a bit during the winter, so its not being watered then.  and 3) its fescue grass which doesn't need a lot of water to begin with.  So, really, what course is he looking at?

He may be leading, but HE'S WEARING THE SAME DAMN CLOTHES AS YESTERDAY.

And since he's not yet in the Top 5, he probably couldn't afford two shirts of the same color.

Someday, though, for his sake, I hope he hits it big. ;)

I'm with @phillyk ... I love the look of this place and now want to play there someday!

      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?
