As a spectator that almost stood on JR's ball as it came to rest on the cart path between 13 green and 14 fairway, I can safely say that there is an element of revisionist history/BS in the way this has been reported in the Mirror US.... My comments in brackets below: After an unplayable lie...

Whoever you declare to attest/mark/sign your card (electronically or IRL) should call you out and remind you that this is not the done thing; golf is about integrity and a players responsibility to protect the field.

Has anybody here bought tickets for this years RC at Bethpage? My wife was able to buy 2 tickets through the ballot process on the RyderCup.com/SeetGeek websites, all bought and paid for, confirmation email etc, but the tickets require an app to be downloaded to her phone and the app is only...

When applying into comps with a limited field size, say 120 players, if 130 enter, quite often it will be the lowest handicap 120 that play, 10 will lose out.

But that's the point; there is jeopardy. You might even better an exisitng score diff, but it sounds like you've already talked yourself out of it!!

I would still maintain vanity handicappers are worse. At least a bandit entering a comp is going up against a field of others with a chance to beat the bandits score. A vanity handicapper is pitching themselves against one or two others around the same HI, potentially depriving those players of...

Just like Black Friday 'deals', an opportunity shift a load of unsold tat.

Add up the 8 lowest Score Diff. values from the most recent 20 rounds and divide by 8 to calculate your WHS Index. Gross score is an indicator, but as you've experienced, a lower gross score doesn't always equal a lower score differential. ..Nick

Nice courses that won't break the bank and that are not too far away/easy to get to would be Elton Furze, Stoke Rochford, Burghley Park, Brampton Park, St Neots, Rutland Water, Luffenham Heath. ..Nick

Perpetually irritating. 'Desired' by those unable/unwilling to buy them, and given away free to those who can afford them?!?

It seems to me that he is perpetuating a wilful ignorance to drive a particular narrative/clicks. I had to laugh when he said that he has been out of the game for 2 years, whilst simultaneously building a YouTube channel slap bang in the middle of the golfing eco-system 😆
