DeChambeau & the Hat  

24 members have voted

  1. 1. On a scale of one (1) to ten (10), how do you feel about DeChambeau and the hat.

    • 1 - It doesn't bother me. If it bothers you, you're just a jealous 18 handicapper.
    • 4 - Who am I to judge? The guy is on a roll and golf needs more personality.
    • 7 - Not going to lie, it is a bit irritating, and I know all I need to know about DeChambeau from that hat.
    • 10 - I'd rather watch a Caitlyn Jenner documentary on re-run than see Dechambeau's hat one more GD time.

This post was not meant to be taken all that seriously; however, based on the consensus it looks like I need to move on. If DeChambeau, however, continues to pop up on tour events, don't be surprised if you start to see and hear the word 'polarizing' when discussing DeChambeau. Think Patrick Reed. 

Thanks for participating and hit 'em straight this weekend.

I see nothing wrong with the hat, however not helping your flight partners search for a lost ball and simply standing in the fairway waiting is a big no no in my books and shows a real lack of class.

DeChambeau on Saturday when in a flight with McIlroy and Sullivan. Sullivan put a tee shot in bushes down the right and searched for 5 mins before returning to the tee.

McIlroy, the ref and members of the crowd helped search whilst DeChambeau stood in the fairway with his caddie.

He's young.   It's correctable.

He did apologize on Twitter for the mistake.  I would attach the Twitter link but my work computer blocks all forms of social media.

That's good to hear. As calm as he tried to be in pre-round interviews, I can't even imagine how nervous he really was and he came across in all other instances as a nice guy

Awesome hat. In my opinion there are few things worse than a grown up with a baseball cap, looks ridiculous. These hats are very light, cool and comfortable.

I like the hat but it provides little protection from the sun... baseball caps supply a bit more, but when you get older... best hat I could find that looks decent on you, even with a swoosh... don't think Bryson will go for this until he is 50 or signs with Nike.

He claimed he didn't know they were looking for Sullivans ball but given the amount of time that had passed and that Rory was also missing I don't believe him.

    • 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?
