New guy here, been following this thread and biting my tongue for as long as I can but I have to say- some of you guys are ridiculous.  This isn't the 1950s and you're not Don Draper, get over yoursel

Basically this is what bugs me: ANGC holds Drive, Chip, and Putt the Sunday before the Masters. Its purpose to to grow the game by encouraging boys and girls to develop skills and compete at go

You gotta be kidding me. And here I thought this kind of thinking went out in the 1970s. No. Don't give me examples. Please.

To the issue is not how tough the course is or if the women can play at the men's tees etc.

The Masters is about tradition. It is play on the same course at nearly the same time every year. It is the first major of the year for the PGA.

The LPGA already has that and it is the ANA Inspiration (formerly the Dinah Shore).

"Founded in 1972 by entertainer Dinah Shore, the tournament has been classified as a major since 1983. Since its inception, it has been held annually at the Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, California, southeast of Palm Springs. It is first major of the year, usually played in late March or early April. The current title sponsor is All Nippon Airways. IMG manages and operates the event for ANA."

They should go back to having the Dinah Shore name in their title like the The Dinah Shore Tournament presented by ANA etc.

If you treat the Dinah Shore like the Masters then the LPGA lines up very similar to the PGA in terms of majors.

The Evian Championship could be made to be like the Fedex Championship to the PGA at the end of the season.

So instead of trying use Augusta National to create a new major why not build up the Dinah Shore where you already have a rich history and in the years to come will become like the Masters is to the PGA.

To me what Paula is asking for is a real slap in the face to the Dinah Shore Tournament.

Does the LPGA have an event with a qualification system like the Masters? I think that is an important element of its mystique of top players from various golf sectors (U.S. & European pros & amateurs).

If they want that by all means they should institute it for one of their majors  But the do not need to play on Augusta National to do it.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

      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?
