Moving from the US Open in the northwest to New England.  We had some nasty weather yesterday in the area including a tornado warning.  The weather for the rest of the week looks pretty good.

Expert picks from pgatour.com.

http://www.pgatour.com/expert-picks/2015/06/23/travelers-championship.html

  1. Snedeker looked good in the US Open and seems to be improving.
  2. Will Billy Ho whine about these greens?
  3. Tony Finau got a lot of air time last week. Big hitter.
  4. Louis O is coming off a great final round.  Can he keep it up?
  5. Do you all have posting fatigue from the US Open thread?

Cool!  Thanks for posting.  Fenway is 11 miles south of me and the storm was south of that.  It looks menacing!

Does a course like the Traveler's try to be easier to attract a better field?

Man, I just can't get into this tournament and it's in the state I grew up in. After last week's event, this is quite a let down. Shut it off and cancelled taping the series after about 30 minutes. I find that is often the case after a particularly good major. Bring on the Scottish Open!

Yep, love that event and it's the lead-in to The Open so it pumps me up. (The British is my favorite major.)

True, true. I like following the Euro Tour but I don't really catch a lot due to the time difference and watching it recorded just isn't the same haha.

      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?
