My goddaughter is going to this show.  I will forward her report on how bad Rory is as a crooner!

One Direction’s Niall Horan hit an embarrassing tee shot during Wednesday’s Masters Par 3 Contest, and now he has payback in mind.

As part of their deal, McIlroy will now have to sing on stage with one of the world’s most popular bands when they play Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts on Sept. 12, according to a report Sunday by Golf Channel’s Todd Lewis. The concert falls a few days after the PGA Tour’s Boston-area Deutsche Bank Championship, the second leg of the FedEx Cup playoffs.

Rory’s only stipulation?

“He’s allowed to pick the song,” Horan said.

When asked whether he’s ever heard McIlroy sing a tune, Horan replied with a smile, “No, but apparently he’s terrible.”

He's a good sport, I'm sure he'll do fine. They'll pick a song within his own octave range, maybe even his favorite song by another artist. some coaching and professional singing coach will probably be used leading up to it. Golf needs more of the human side of these players, rather than the robot we have witnessed IMO

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • 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.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • 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?
