It does, kind of. You won't see weird lopsided ratings like 76.5/112 or 67.5/148. The slope is not worth worrying about in choosing tees. I always have score based goals relative to par and rating, so much I expect different results per side. How well or not I play is measured against expectations relative to that. If the 9 hole rating ong the 35 side of a 71 is 33 and I shoot 39 I don't feel good about it no matter what the distance is.

In that case 117 slope is probably a regulation course, in which case 5400 yards is kind of short for a male player?

What's the name of the course, it might be in the USGA database?

the course is moor downs in waukesha wi- link here... https://ncrdb.usga.org/NCRDB/courseTeeInfo.aspx?CourseID=45577

The 117 might the ladies ratings from the "tips", the 31.7/105 might be the rating for men. The par rating is 68 so it makes sense that the CR is about 63.4. The most difficult hole is the 417 yard par 4. A scratch golfer would typically shoot 4 under par. The differential for the 85 is 21.6, and 89 is 25.6. In both cases it looks like you would break 100 on a 72/113 rated course.

BTW, did I mention that I broke par at Rivendell?

Some elves let me borrow some Mithral clubs, and wouldn't you know it they're almost all left handed!

It was a phenomenal round with at least six 800 yard drives which shortened the shorter 12,000 yard course to something manageable for someone with my skill level. My playing partners had been playing the game for only 1200 years, but knew enough to teach me the ropes so to speak. . .

      New Golf Grips. Talk to Me

      By snapfade ·

      I had the D-9's a while back, thought the stock Wilson grips were rubbish.  I put Pure grips on them. Pure is now out of business but available on Golfworks.  Currently some colors in stock as of today. PURE Wrap Golf Grips - The GolfWorks PURE Golf's tackiest grip, the Wrap features a perforated wrap design and is ideal for golfers that prefer a slightly softer, more muted feel at impact.

      Water in Bunker

      By DaveP043 ·

      If he had to hit over the bunker, I'm guessing he was further from the hole, although "in front of" implies the opposite.  If that's right, that may have been the right spot for penalty relief, a single PS.

      Water in Bunker

      By iacas ·

      Did you look up any Rules before posting here? What did you learn or find? You don't get to drop (or place) closer to the hole. 16.1(c) deals with relief for Abnormal Course Conditions in bunkers. You're granted free relief for: Since you say the bunker was basically entirely full of water, you likely wouldn't get complete relief, so for free (no penalty strokes), you are entitled to "maximum available" relief. If there's a spot in the back of the bunker away from the hole where the water is the shallowest, then you can drop there. If you don't like any of those options, you can take a penalty stroke and drop out of the bunker, behind it: You seem to have played from a wrong place (nearer to the hole) and thus likely should be penalized two strokes. It doesn't sound like a serious breach, at least.

      New Golf Grips. Talk to Me

      By collegefbfan ·

      I feel that the stock grips on my Wilson D9's are a little thin.  The grips on my other clubs (purchased used online and sold by me a couple months ago) were Golf Pride and they looked like the wrapped version.  I will say they felt like they had a little more cushion.  I don't have particularly large hands.  Did the grips on my other clubs have more tape or was just a better feeling softer grip?  I have no idea.  Well, any brands you would recommend that have a softer feel?
