If you go there, you'll see that we have a new, fancy way to handle the "Supporter" status. Two of you have already gone through that process (thanks, @No Mulligans and @bkuehn1952!). It's pretty simple and straightforward.


A few weeks ago, I re-created all of the Lifetime Supporter and Elite Lifetime Supporter for the several of you who chose to do that (thank you once again!). Just now I've finished adding back all of the yearly supporter memberships. Here is that list, along with the expiration date I had written down from the old site (which I then applied to this site):

If any of those dates seem wrong, please let me know. You can renew at any time, too, by visiting the store. Year-long Supporter memberships cost only $36… and only $29 to current Forum Leaders.

Was there some sort of profile reset accompanying this? Just noticed my rep points dropped from 142 to 112.

Kinda.

Post counts and reputation were imported directly from the old site, but a lot of people still haven't had either re-calculated. I intend to re-calculate those for everyone soon, and occasionally I click the "recalculate" button here.

The old site let you award more than one point if your reputation was high enough. The new site is 1:1: every "Like" is worth 1 point.

    • 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?
