Right, that's why he finished runner-up in a playoff the last time this tournament was played here.

Jordan Spieth went to Catholic School and graduated from a prep school and has probably been a wonderkid in golf ever since his talents were recognized as a kid. Richard Sherman is from Compton

Rose got influenced by a fan on a putt. Did not think these guys paid any attention to armchair warriors.

Chris, was it you who picked Jason Day to win and put $$ on it? Did you also pick Spieth for the Masters?

Yeah I have money on Day. Was actually pretty aggressive with it. Put 35 on him. I usually don't put that much on a player. I put $$ on Jordan at Augusta and Chambers. Also had Rory last year at Hoylake. So crossing my fingers for another pay day. Also had him in the contest here but only had him at -12. Not sure what others had.

Jason Day's 3 wood has to be one of my favourite swings in golf - would love to be able to have a swing half as good as that...

Currently focusing on: Key 4 - shorter backswing.

Thanks. I hope so. I've had some really bad luck with car problems the last two weeks but this would balance it all out. So we'll see. With Spieth up there, anything can happen.

What happened to CBS coverage? It has gone to shit all in a year it seems. More commercials than golf. More sob stories than ESPN. More closeups of Nantz. More tech talk and science of the swing bullshit. WE WANT TO SEE GOLF.

Nah, he's got it. If he doesn't win, I'll change my picture to Robert Allenby for a month.

Looks like it'll be Rose if it's anyone at the moment - he's really finding his groove.

Whats crazy is if he was just a little better putter, he may be running away with this tournament. I've counted 4 putts today he should have holed.

      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?
