Rory has given 3 shots away in 3 holes with the putter.

Been the story of his week. Tee to green he's been as good as anyone. Rory is not one for fast greens. All four of his majors came on slow greens.

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

Sorry if this has been addressed already, but is there a par-3 with a tee in a bunker, or is that my imagination?

Tee markers in the bunker?

Wow to think oosthuizen was once +8 in this tourney and now he's Even. Nice comeback Louis. Game on for him.

To be totally nerdy, he got to +9 after two holes in Round 2.  (+7 after Round 1, then bogey bogey start). What a story if he rolls on.

There's a par 3 number 15 that's 250 yards. The tee box looks horrible. Not a bunker.

Want a PowerPoint with that golf? At U.S. Open, state lawmakers don’t have a choice

Interesting slideshow about the area and course at the end of the piece.

Stenson's lunch. Here's a man after my heart. Nice to see a dish w/a healthy portion of veggies. Veggies, baby, veggies. Or it could be in reference to his remark about the greens. Doh.

      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.
