Victor Dubuisson was a guy that I use to like and always pulled for. I have recently done a 180 after watching the last few tournaments he has played in. It seems he carries himself different on the European tour vs when he plays in the USA. He has been acting like a complete Douche bag as of late.

I always liked him too ... Can you elaborate here??

Just watch how he acts when things are not going his way. Very pouty and not very thankful to have a caddy I guess.

Bernd Wiesberger is your winner. Jaco Van Zyl, Rafael Cabrera-Bello and The Lead Singer of The Doors earn spots in The Open Championship. Cabrera-Bello had some tremendous luck in earning a spot, was +4 thru 5, but shot -2 by going -6 on the back nine with two eagles. Also got lucky by Brendan Steele making a triple bogey on his 71st hole to choke away a birth at St. Andrews. Max Kieffer also blew his chances by playing his last 4 holes in +3.

Great 65 for the win from Wiesberger,this guy will be on the European team at the next Ryder cup.

Top ten finishes for Kaymer and Molinari.

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • 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.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • 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?
