I'd skip the tournament. Not a single doubt in my mind.

It's not like Danny Willet's gonna win the Masters anyway. ;-)

Nailed it.

I wouldn't ever consider missing the Masters for the birth of Danny Willet's first child. Also, if I were a professional golfer with the desire to have a child, I'd probably aim to make sure that

After having had 3, we joke about the things done differently each time.  The less and less "care" that is provided for the third.  As an example (This is obviously meant to be silly, but I swear this

So did he play?  All I'm hearing is about this Jordan collapse, not sure who actually won. ;-)

Duh - We won't know until tomorrow, Willett didn't play due to his newborn baby so Spieth & Westwood are having a 17 hole playoff tomorrow (skipping #12)

Players play, tough players win!

True enough, I is a good prognosticator, with the exception of the 2014 Super Bowl, when I call it, I is correct, just like Jamo here.

What are the Vegas odds that Willet would finish Top 20?  He's not a top player, factor in that this will be his first Masters and that his focus will be split between golf and his wife giving birth, what are the chances he even makes the cut?

 

Thanks for the cool breeze provided by this gigantic whiff!!!

I don't think I would have had this problem. I would never have attempted to impregnate my wife in early July. You gotta think ahead with these things, amirite? That's what good parenting is about.

      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?
