I will mainly be watching Rory at Wentworth, I love watching tournaments in the morning and then golfing in the evening.

If the Crowne Plaza looks interesting on Sunday I'll tune in, I'll also be keeping tabs on it for fantasy golf reasons.

Not to change the subject but. I hope to be taking my dad to French Lick Indiana for Saturday's round of the senior PGA championship.

Not gonna lie, I thought about adding that...

Didn't the senior's JUST have a major? Do they have back to back majors?

Good question, toss-up for me so will depend on the leader board. Assuming the cream rises to the top in both, I'll probably divide my time equally.

Yeah, very strange indeed. I will be the first to admit that I don't follow the Seniors like I do the PGA tour. So when I heard that last week, Jeff Maggert had one the 1st Senior Major of the year, I was like really? I thought I was taking my dad to the first senior Major of the year in the PGA championship. Back to back Majors? I have never heard of such a thing. I had no idea that the Regions tournament was considered a Major for the Seniors.

Depends who's in contention. If Rory is up there, I'll be watching the BMW. If Spieth is in it at the Crowne, I'll be tuning in there.

Rory just finished his 18, was a sub-par round in all sense of the word. Long game was ok, putting was ok, short game was ok, I'll have to check stats on GIR, I know he hit quite a few fairways. He ended up -1.

Miguel Jimenez ended his round tied for the lead at -4. It looks like a really tough course out there today.

G-Mac looks absolutely terrible. 3 over after 3. He just missed a routine 2 footer. I don't think I've ever seen him do that.

The BMW is too damn early.

I arrive to work before 6am so I love it!

Padraig Harrington withdrew because of shoulder injury. He shouldn't have even teed up, he only played two holes.

Crowne Plaza tournament is still in delay.

Speaking of Molinari, INCREDIBLE round today, -7 on a very tough course...2 stroke lead.

Note on Paddy, first withdraw in like 20 years!

I don't get the Golf Channel at this house so won't be watching Wentworth. I can pick it up on Sky sports over the internet but the quality is less than good. Plus I usually play golf in the morning anyway.

      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?
