  1. Yes, time for an update. I added five courses this year bringing my total to 444 in 32 states and 16 countries. I also try to track courses I have played that have hosted these events:
  2. Yes, and I believe we are overthinking this issue. You can boil it down to these observations. I watch what is entertaining to me. I don't care about the players sex, race, age, etc. I NEVER choose to watch based on anything but entertainment value. Picking what you think is entertaining is 100% subjective. Entertainers should be paid what they earn and what they earn is based on the number of fans (and their money) they attract. There should be no effort to pay one group the same as another group. Fans vote with their wallets. One thing the LPGA has over the PGA in terms of entertainment value is sex and sex sells (men like to watch sexy women, they always have, and they always will). So, maybe they should accept reality and get more attractive players. Another issue with the LPGA is player identification. College football and basketball are extraordinarily entertaining because fans IDENTIFY with their school. Unfortunately, the LPGA has very few stars that Americans identify with, and America is the biggest market by a wide margin. In the end, it's just entertainment and Americans spend $37 billion on entertainment every year so a lot is at stake.
  3. I will be in Norway next month but I will not have a chance to play golf. We are driving from Bergen to Alesund with stops along the way at Flam and Briksdalsbre. Any suggestions for "must see" sites? and restaurants?
  4. I fail to see why purse equality is a goal at all. Professionals should be paid what the market wants them to be paid. If women's golf has a better product, they will earn more.
  5. And my country count: Country Played count Argentina 1 Aruba 1 Bermuda 1 Canada 7 Costa Rica 1 Dominican 7 Ireland 13 Mexico 19 Nevis 1 Northern Ireland 3 Puerto Rico 2 Portugal 8 Scotland 18 South Africa 2 Spain 4 USA 343
  6. Here is my US state count. I have lots of states to work on. I've been to all fifty states but only played golf in 32. State Played count AK 0 AL 6 AZ 27 AR 1 CA 38 CO 21 CT 3 DE 0 DC 0 FL 42 GA 21 HI 23 ID 1 IL 1 IN 1 IA 0 KS 3 KY 0 LA 1 ME 0 MD 0 MA 3 MI 6 MN 0 MS 1 MO 2 MT 1 NE 0 NV 11 NH 0 NJ 0 NM 5 NY 2 NC 6 ND 0 OH 0 OK 0 OR 11 PA 1 RI 0 SC 12 SD 0 TN 0 TX 76 UT 2 VT 0 VA 1 WA 4 WV 0 WI 7 WY 3 Total 343 States: 32
  7. Nice logo ball collection and I recognize many of them. Here is my collection. I made these display racks to fit my office wall.
  8. Doak's definition of what makes a golf course good and what the rest of the world thinks is often quite different.
  9. I just added five Bandon Dunes courses to bring my total to 409 courses played. - 16 countries - 10 US Open venues - 7 British Open venues - 9 PGA Championship venues - 1 Masters venue (obviously only 1) - 45 PGA Tour venues I have been very fortunate.
  10. You could make this easier by using the Excel SMALL command. That would eliminate the sorting by differential. SMALL selects the nth smallest number in a range. So you just add SMALL number 1, SMALL number 2, ...... SMALL number 8. Then divide the total by 8. Here is my formula. "differential" is the named range of the last 20 differentials. =(SMALL(differential,1)+SMALL(differential,2)+SMALL(differential,3)+SMALL(differential,4)+SMALL(differential,5)+SMALL(differential,6)+SMALL(differential,7)+SMALL(differential,8))/8

  12. I think everybody agrees that some kind of dress code is needed. I doubt that anybody would want to see golfers in a thong. So the question is, how strict should the dress code be? How you dress on the golf course is a reflection of your attitude. I always prefer to play with a group that dresses in golf attire. Personally, I also like seeing the pros on TV dressed nicely and hope they never go to shorts.
