Besides that, I think pros like to live near each other because they play each other to practice, and gamble, probably more to gamble.

If that was the case, Phil wouldn't be living in California.

Phil still lives in California? Why? The weather is not significantly better than in Phoenix, and it certainly isn't worth the premium someone of his income level has to pay to live here.

Probably can't go to a restaurant there without running into one.

Have you ever been to the palm beach counties? Pretty nice place with amazing golf. (And the aforementioned tax benefits.)

Maybe you're joking?

San Diego Average High Temperature

June 71

July 75

Aug 76

Phoenix Average High Temperature

June 104

July 106

Aug 104

And Phil does pay a big premium.  The top tax bracket in Ca. is 13.3%, and most of Phil's income falls in that bracket.

Half joking. I really like the weather one gets in Phoenix in the summer. I totally understand that this is not a universally held opinion.

Same here, for me 110 in the desert is better than 90 with humidity.

I have lived in Houston all my life and played several summers of baseball and I went to Phoenix for a week for baseball a few years back during the summer and would take Phoenix any day. 110 in Phoenix felt like 85 in Houston during the summer.

      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?
