Yeah, he's not winning. And I called that (in texts) before he started playing today, so… oh well. Bummer.

Of the remaining nobodies and nearly-nobodies, I don't know if I care who wins.


I did not have you labeled, as someone who would call a player making a living on the PGA tour a nobody. I guess I'm wrong again. Plenty of decent names in there.

And TW finds himself outside the top 10.. Did the pressure get to him? Did he start thinking what if? There is still time though on the back 9 if he remembers what he was doing the first 3 rounds..

It's all relative. Jim Herman? Nobody… compared to the top guys on the PGA Tour, almost none of whom are at this event.

And yet Jim Herman is one of the best 200 or 300 or so golfers in the world.

Better not to "label" people, or at least to consider the context…

Just curious, are you one of the best 200 or 300 golf instructors in the world? Or would you be considered a nobody in the golf instructors world?

Easily.

Now, back to the topic.

Tiger seriously needs to stop taking the club back so steeply. That pitch looked like he got way too steep then ended up trying to save it and he flipped at the ball. You could see he didn't pivot well on that pitch.

    • 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?
