Oh, it has nothing to do with being private, not wanting to be seen, or anything like that.  My aversion is just based on my inability to make a video, much less edit it, like I have seen some in the 2017 applications...

The 2019 Newport Cup Las Vegas, NV* So, just a quick note to say that @mvmac and I are looking at having the 2019 Newport Cup, a six-on-six Ryder Cup-style event in mid- to late-October, 201

If it would help I can have my own "She...." talk to yours.  When I was a little uncertain in 2015, she let me know that I BETTER accept the invitation.  Just one reason we're still together for our 35th year.

Well, the boss is onboard. 

We will have to do some arranging and all. Knowing the dates will help. But as of now I'm interested in applying. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Nothing to worry about, I knew absolutely nothing about video stuff prior to my own application a couple of years ago.  Lots of the others were better, for sure, but I was pretty pleased with the end product.

Great. We aren't looking for your video editing skills. Anything reasonably well cobbled together is fine.

Alright. You guys asked for it!  It will be a challenge for sure (probably greater than the golf part)...  :whistle:

I edited my entire submission in youtube itself last time. It was a bit of a pain, but it was fine. It definitely wasn't polished by any stretch of the imagination. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

I had a blast in the 2015 Newport Cup, and found it to be a great blend of competitive golf and camaraderie. Erik and Mike spent a lot of time and preparation to make sure it was really a first class event.

I'd love to participate again at some point down the line, but I'm afraid 2019 may not be the year for me. I spent most of my "golf capital" (both financial and intangible) on a four day trip to Bandon Dunes, Oregon last month - which was amazing in it's own right.

That said, you never know how things will shake out, so I'll keep an eye on this thread and may even toss in an application when the time comes for that.

I added myself in! Not entirely sure I'll be able to go (I've got a few other vacations planned), but I'm sure come application time my schedule will be clearer. Should be a lot of fun again!

As of right now only 10 people have given themselves the East Team Candidate badge/award and only five have given themselves the West Team Candidate badge/award.

https://thesandtrap.com/awards/category/2-site-awards/

Directions to do so are here:

Add the appropriate badge/award, please, as that's the easiest way for us to find people.

I have not been as active in this forum as in the past a few unfortunate events caused me to not play as much as I used to namely my course closing, but I'll see if this summer I can reestablish my index and add my name.

I was wondering about the 2019 rendition of the cup. I'll have to start filming B-roll for the Rocky style comeback training montage with the 6 inches of snow that just got dumped here locally.

One big plus, if it's in/near Las Vegas, is the very cheap flights available. I'll also finally be 21 by the time October rolls around, so when in Vegas...

Could use some more Western team candidates. @Pretzel @phillyk @mchepp @Golfingdad

 

I threw my hat in the ring. If I am honest I would rather see some of the other folks on here get to play in it. It is such a blast that everyone who wants a shot should absolutely get one. I'll do the work to get my submission in, but I'm hopeful there are tons of worthy candidates and I can enjoy seeing some of the other great members on here get a chance to play. 

That said, I may still go for a day to watch. It is such a great competition that I may come just to watch, take photos, post what's happening on the site. Like @RandallT did in 2017. Vegas is an easy flight.

      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?
