This is why it is nice that it is not a one size fits all world.  I wanted Spieth to beat Day, but if it had come down to Day and Dustin I would have rooted for Day.  National pride is a good thing, b

It won't happen but if it did I think the struggle would be he would be tough for the younger players to identify with. Unfortunately his legend is as much about bad behavior as his golf. Half the US squad are holy roller types he'd have a tough time making a connection with them.

This discussion is as moot as can be.

1. Daly is known as a someone who quits and gives up.

2. He would not be respected by the players.

3. He is anything but a "team man".

I understand the desire for a "left field" pick, but that might be Tiger or Mickelson at this stage.

But... there would be dozens of reasons for not picking them.

The mentality that thinks Daly would be good is the same as the one who thinks Trump would make a good POTUS.

Renegades make complete idiots of themselves when they are given responsibility. Especially if they are egomaniacs.

Their talk appeals to the uninformed but it is just hot air.

"Back to basics"

"Back to work"

"Get our kids off the streets"

"Restore manufacturing"

"Restore respect for elders"

I am just curious as to why someone would think that John Daly has anything to offer, other than not being part of the "club". And...if that is the reason, how would it benefit anyone?

John Daly has accomplished things on and off the course. That someone like could only dream of. No need to be jealous about it.

No one is denying that. But which of these accomplishments would make hime fall into any type of consideration as Ryder Cup Captain?

One person here thought he'd make a good captain. You made your point a week ago that he wouldn't. Everyone else agrees. Why beat the dead horse?

John Daly is a complete disaster.

He just dumped 3 balls in the water on hole #7. Then he threw his club into Lake Michigan after chunking ball #4.

Perhaps he should start drinking again. Or maybe stop?

Yep. But it's just now for me.

I can't stand the countless commercials, so I DVR'd it.

Now I don't have to watch the Rory (Omega Watch? commercial) 17 times EVERY HOUR!

I do the same but I must admit, I've stopped to watch that Geico kraken commercial a few times, it's funny.

Oh Shorty you're just being a big grump now. The RC isn't the Yalta Conference for Pete's sake. It's a frigging golf tournament. Who do you approve...Mr. Rogers? MJ was the worlds largest known athlete at one time and knows about motivation and winning. Besides, some crabby old man sitting in an Archie Bunker chair whining about people and offering no ideas gets us nowhere. Chris DeMarco? Or is his hair to close to his collar for you?

I'm still laughing. This was hilarious.

I would love it if Daly was named captain. Do you guys honestly care enough about this fake dog and pony show prestige of the Cup to not want to be entertained? Especially after his antics today, I think Daly would slice things up and help the ratings. Think Happy Gilmore and bringing in ratings.

      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?
