To be honest, I'm not following that closely, but I did notice this hole in one prize. An excavator! Don't you need a special license to work one of these things?

It's like the movie [i]Over the Top,[/i] where Sylvester Stallone enters the national arm-wrestling championship in order to win a new semi-truck. Are the tournament organizers taking their cues from "Let's Make a Deal?" Is there an XC90 hiding behind the backhoe waiting to be revealed in the case someone actually does make a hole-in-one?

Actually LOosterhuisen made a HIO a few years back and won a Volvo car.  But what he needed to work around his hobby farm/vineyards was a small digger machine so Volvo provided that, not the car.

And the best/worst HIO prize i've seen, not at a pro tourney, was 2 tons of bagged portland cement.

French revolution going on there. Quesne (1), Levy (T2), Wattel (T4) and Lando Casanova (T4) on top of the leaderboard. Local hero Li, who lost the play-off last week, is also T4 and three shots behind the leader.

PUihlein is the USA guy tied at 2nd place at -7, one behind the leader.  6 guys at -5, including 2 chinese, 3 frenchies, one thai and one italian.

DLipsky and NColsaerts both miss cut, set at +2.

I went to the European Tour's website to figure out who you had given the nickname "Lando Casanova" to, and lo and behold, that's his real damned name! Something new every time...

That is a tremendous name... 4 tied for the lead heading into Sunday. Local favorites Ashun Wu & Hao Tong Li, as well as defending champ Alexander Levy and Englishman David Howell.

Local guy Wu Ashun wins. Sensational win, after Howell messes it up on the 18th and finishes second.

And… an Evolvr student finishes inside the top 15. Yay.

Which player?

I was vague (but truthful) on purpose. :-)

Do you Evolvr guys have some kind of 'non-disclosure' agreement with pro players, or secret pact in sharing the winnings?

Just wondering about why the vagueness in identifying that player?

My guess thoughts: if in top 10, would have said, so probably between 10-15 name list, many tie scores so if only counting players and not finishing place, who's left?  Probably not a chinese of korean guy (language issues), only one USA guy, PUihlein who has lots of 'help',  final guess: SBenson of UK.

No, and no. We just don't see any real benefit in identifying people.

Top 15. Somewhere between 1-15. Very happy for the guy. He's our third Tour player on Evolvr. We never identified the first two, either…

@iacas , when a tour pro utilizes evolvr, does he typically work with one guy? Or do the instructors collaborate a bit?

It depends. But we all talk about it. As you may guess, their "issues" are smaller and more nuanced.

      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?
