    Team USA will win 14.5-13.5, Patrick Reed will win 3.5 points by going 3-0-1 and Dustin Johnson will clinch the Ryder Cup for team USA by winning his match on the 17th hole. You can see my GAME GOLF Profile here: http://www.gamegolf.com/player/bmartin461

    Sorry guys, I'm out due to AYSO commitments. Enjoy the round!

    FYI - I'm in this same boat, so a Saturday event will be tough for me. Carry on.....

    I would guess that GHIN calculates the differential at the time of score input and stores only the differential. As you pointed out, storing the slope/rating is not the best use of a relational database. I think just doing the calc at the time of input and storing the result should meet your needs and allow future updates to slope/rating to work as intended. Good luck!

    For your drooling pleasure: I have the 850 Forged and now I clearly want the 900s!

    Mark me as tentative for that date, should work, but hard to tell at this point.

    Now keep in mind the players know what they are doing, they know where the true blocks are to their next shot. That course was very "links like" after they cut down all those trees. The means grip it and rip it and even if it's off line I'll have a shot at the green. the TIO is very slim, but it's not part of the course, so no player would be accounting for it.

    Exactly. What's funny is after he took relief he then went on the blast it right over the top of the TV tower.

    Thanks for the contest, I like the C-130 in Gunmetal-Orange-White. Regards, Brad

    Wow, I didn't even think about that being a joke (that's not a good sign for that being a joke). Cool, 2nd place it is then!

    So, are we final on this? Not sure after this post.

    By the 6th hole Lowry already dropped 2 strokes while Dustin was even. I can see you point on this affecting Dustin, but Lowry tightened up, couldn't putt 5 footers etc. I think he would have collapse regardless. Now Day might have changed his strategy a bit, but his poor bunker shot on 17 did him in too. You can say the same for the others that finished ahead of DJ, they must have had a sense for where they needed to be to win, be it -2 or -3, which none of them reached. I do see your point though.

    Thanks guys! I'm excited for the new bag. I'm really glad DJ finally won a major, I knew he would eventually! Brad

    Doesn't this answer your own question? It's not a waste of time and money if you get enough benefit from it.

    Maybe the golfmatch app might work for you, you can create private groups too: https://golfmatchapp.com/about

    Voted yes and yes. My index has dropped a few points from last year and I expect a few more to fall off this year with the help of this site.

    Played in a two day net city tournament this past weekend, it was my first time playing in one. The nerves got to me on the first day as what they say is right, tourney golf is not the same as regular golf. After the first day I was 12th out of 23 in my flight. Day 2 I turned it around and had a much better time. It didn't hurt that I had a chip-in birdie on the first hole and another birdie to start the back 9. Ended up finishing in 7th (5th if you count the ties above me). Things to work on: Bunker shots, short putts, rinse and repeat.

    Thanks for the replies so far, good stuff. One other concern I have is they changed the course HC calc at the last minute (post last revision). Instead of basing it on the low index of the year they decided to take current index. Since my index is also my low, it didn't impact me, but for others were who lower and are now a bit higher would seem to have a slight advantage with this change. Thoughts?

    Good advice, thanks. From what I understand there will be "officials" on the course to help. I have a pretty good understanding of the rules so that should help.
  21. bmartin461
    Thanks, this is good advice. I'll try, no promises.
  22. bmartin461
    Thanks for the replies. I'll post more once it's over, good or bad.
  23. bmartin461
    Thanks for the response, yes, I realize everyone will be in the same boat regarding the HC calculation. I do expect to learn a lot from this experience and I hope I can just make good contact on the first tee.

    I entered a city tournament, and it will be my first. It's a two day tourney, played on two courses on the same property. They gave me a course HC (based on a slope of 126) that is used for both courses even though the ratings are different. I'm a 14.8 currently, the course HC I received is a 17. From what I can tell, this helps me as the HC is based on the higher sloped course, the second course has a slope of 121, so I get one extra stroke I believe. Since it's a course I play a lot, I've mapped out the holes that tend to give me trouble and I will develop a safe plan of play for those holes. Any advise you would give me otherwise? Thanks, Brad

    Unfortunately the afternoons are not good for me, so I'm limited to before work if at all, which is becoming more and more of a problem now that their "Players Club" has caught on so well.
