Yep. The announcers were ribbing each other off camera about her and you know it.

I thought they were implying she's being compensated for her presence.

Well yeah but they wouldn't have been joking about that if she didn't look like that. Like if Zach's wife was walking with him. I sound like such a jerk but she is not attractive lol.

Maybe Zach's wife has a really good personality. :-X

Jesus....I need to work by butt off to get better and make the Tour. I'm better looking than most of these guys and can't get anything close to the women they're shagging. Jesus. Matt Jones isn't much of a golfer and is getting that??


Yeah Jones isn't much of a golfer. On the other hand, if you don't mind me asking. How much money have you made in your golfing career ? That's what I thought, oh well at least you got your good looks to fall back on.

It's almost as if... people date other people... for more than their looks...

Curious what it's like to be one of these guys on Tour. There's probably a "I want to date a PGA golfer Club" out there and these girls show up at bars in the city they're playing every week. Must be like paradise to be a golfer. Of course some guys go to church instead of these bars and end up with Zach's wife who I'm sure is very nice but not exactly a prom queen.

I think his comment was made in jest.

No, he likes to make the "that player is a golf nobody'" comment quite often if the leaderboard is not stacked with household names.

The man means business. He wants to be part of the Fed Ex playoffs, bad.

I really hope Daly has a sense of humor for his actions today and signs that club for the kid that fished the club out of the water. :)

Good to see Tiger playing next week. Wasn't sure he would....looked very drained these past two days. But glad he's giving it a go.

Kind of insult to injury that he has to go out tomorrow and finish his craooy round just to not make the cut.

Well, my guess is he's not looking at it that way.

I'll wager you are much too young to have read the famous George McGovern quip following the 1972 election about how, all his life, he wanted to run badly for president.

I certainly am too young, if @tiger19 is not. My question is what you mean by bringing up that quote?

    • 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?
