Happy someone made this thread. McDowell going for the three-peat! Both him and Victor have been playing horrible since the Ryder Cup. Hometown hero Victor looking good today, in the lead after 17 holes.

Great grouping with Kaymer, Victor, & Donaldson

There's something seriously wrong with Graeme McDowell since the Ryder Cup...

And McDowell squanders the hat trick opportunity shooting a +1 (72) in the first round and now a +7 (78) in the second.

He goes home early. If he continues to play like this he'll start falling to a Tiger Woods like world ranking.

In happier news, Victor Dubuisson JUST holed out at the par 4, 6th hole and has now taken a 2 stroke lead.

Victor & Kaymer in the same group fighting for the lead right. Both co-leading at -4.

This course plays tough.

Rafael Cabrera Bello looking to secure a spot at St. Andrews after a missed opportunity a few weeks ago in Ireland. In the clubhouse at -4, which likely will be the lead knowing how this course is playing.

This has been very enjoyable this morning. The Ryder Cup trio are fun to watch. Victor just putted in for birdie to get to -5.

Those guys didn't exactly kill that par five. I'm rooting for the Chilean, Aguilar.

That par 5 was like the worst most boring hole they've played all day, haha. Although watching Kaymer nearly fall was exciting.

Victor bogeys the 17th, looking like a good prediction!

      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?
