First off...I rarely post, but I do come on a few days a week to read threads(especially the "days of our lives" ones! :-D )....

Anyway, I am watching the LPGA European tour and I have to sa,y that I am mostly watching because there is some good eye "candy", but also some quality golf. I have never watched the Euro Ladies tour, until yesterday, when I noticed at least three good looking women(which is pretty rare for a women's tournament). Usually the leaders on LPGA are not that good looking. I have never heard of these players till yesterday.

Mellissa Reid(she is tied for the lead) is a good looking blond!

Camilla Lennarth(she has a website)...she is one the best looking women's golfer on either the LPGA or the European tour, in my opinion.

Carly Booth-has a nice upper body!

Anyone else watching this, opinions?

When living in Europe, I used to go to a few LPGA Euro events and enjoyed the Swedes, French, and Spanish girls.  Not much into the USA tour (Asian) - although there are a few lookers on the American tour.

Say Orlando.  Are you a man or a woman?  Knowing that will help many of us understand your post.

I watched it last night (2nd round) but didn't notice either of what you mentioned above.   More emphatically, the quality of LET golf was a big cut below LPGA and I watch all LPGA tournaments.   LET have even less depth than LPGA and the scoreboard clearly showed - leader at -12 or something, cut line at +3.   LET is a third or 4th ranked women's golf league after LPGA, KLPGA, JLPGA (may be a tie with this one).

what are you saying then? the women I mentioned you didn't see, or you don't find attractive!? I actually couldn't care less about the quality. I was bored(out of work) and turned the tv to golf channel and it was on.  I noticed the good looking women(which is pretty rare in women's golf), and enjoyed watching. Even though I am a lot older than most of them.

Not any more or less than ones from LPGA - Korda, Creamer, Wie, Gulbis, .... but beauty is in the eye of beholder :-) .

Watched the 3rd round.  Less than 2-foot putt miss, seemingly simple chip barely reaching green, ....   But I enjoyed watching it.  There's no other live golf other than LET.

One reason I enjoy watching other than PGA/EURO PGA events like this tour is that they play similarly to us hacks - its actually fun to see pro golfers miss greens and have to chip/pitch shots.  I identify with the women's tours more so than PGA where these guys are hitting 300 yd drives, 175-yr 8, 9 irons.   Women's distances are closer to my level.

Exactly.  I can relate to their play.   My favorite phrase while watching LET, LPGA is " even I can do better than that" whenever they make an amateur mistake. :-D

I don't watch PGA that much b/c I can't relate to bombing 350 yard drive and grabbing a LW for 2nd shot.   They are playing different game and I play golf.

      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?
