So you have US vs Europeans, US vs Int'l. Just curious if Int'l vs Europeans was ever considered? Is there a market for it? 

 

Not sure. Since recently there's the EurAsia Cup (second edition somewhere early in the 2016 season). I don't think there will be a market for Int'l vs Europe when Europe already have two other competitions like that. Maybe when we get rid of the EurAsia Cup. That doesn't really do it for me, only reason I was interesed in watching it was because Luiten played in it. While the Ryder Cup always is a big interest for me.

I don't know how many people are following this, but it probably would have been helpful to include the names of the picks. Quote: On Tuesday, U.S. Presidents Cup

The Presidents Cup isn't treated with a quarter of the hype and importance that's placed on the Ryder Cup....and ironically, the US team is all the better for it.  The Prez is the 'friendly exhibition

What is the rallying cry for the International team? "LETS GO DEFEAT THOSE AMERICAN BASTARDS!!" or  "Lets win this one for the rest of the world, minus Europe!!"   I don't think talent is the issue fo

With foursomes and teams like Mickelson/Zach and Spieth/DJ, I wonder how they settled on which ball to use and if their company pissed about it.

Zach is loyal to Titleist and Phil to Callaway. I bet they decided on Titleist.

Same with Spieth (Titleist) and DJ (Taylormade).

 I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if one of the companies legit made a ball that blends the characteristics of the two balls and got them something they both wanted haha, that's the level that these guys are taking it to!

I think they use which ever ball the player is sponsor by that tees off on each hole. So Titleist ball when Zach and Speith tees off and use Callaway when Phil tees off and Taylormade when Dustin tees off.

Pretty disappointed in the quality of the golf right now.  Especially the way it seems they're all butchering 14 today.  Same thing happened at 10 yesterday.

Soooo many really poor shots.  Pick it up guys!!!

Branden Grace winning his first two matches, he went 0-4-0 in his last Presidents Cup.

 

Today's first point goes to the International Team.

A bit frustrating watching the Aussies coughing up more points today.

How good was Phil's hole out from the bunker!?!

Can anyone explain how you can lose 2 points on one hole in team match play. I understand the rule but it seems like that was made for single match play not team.

So, basically, he said "yes" but just with a rrally

cocky undertone. :P

      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?
