Look....if the commentators were covering the Eli and a foursome of hacks played a hole like this into the wind, do you think they'd only add 16 yards to what the hole is playing like for that group?

Yep. Minor league soccer IS the best!
That wouldn't change how the hole plays. The variable would be how many strokes the hackers would play vs the pros. It's still playing yardage plus wind.
No, they'd add 100+ of fictional yardage to account for each person's handicap.
[eyeroll]
When someone says "it's playing" 10 yards more, all they are saying is that there a 1 club wind up there...or that the green is severely elevated. What you need to do to account for that change differs for every golfer, pro or hack alike. 100 factors go into that.
Leave golf to those that haven't set the Eli Barron Single day high scoring record, K?
I hit a 4 iron from 200. Rory hits a 6 or 7. If there is a 1 club wind I'll probably hit a 3, and he a 5-6 to compensate for the shot conditions.. It Still "plays" 210 for both of us, despite our vast differences in length/ability.
:weary:
Is it an easier shot for him playing a mid iron vs. me playing the longest iron in my bag? Of course, but that doesn't change the actual yardage you dumb touch.

I drove by myself to Charleston with all the luggage/beach stuff while the rest of my family flew. Listened to podcasts all the way down, didn't have to talk to a soul, and now I'm drinking a beer waiting for everyone to get here. I think I've figured out vacation travel.
You're just in time to take a crack on pounding a simple fact into Chief's head as everyone else has failed to reach pay dirt.
Best of luck!
No.
It doesn't make any ******** sense that the laws of physics are particularly kinder to one person than another.

Goddamnit, Chief. You're really starting to piss me off. It's the same GD yardage for everyone. The same. A yard still = a yard. Rory's yardage doesn't measure differently than my yardage. It's the same GD distance. If I play that hole 750 yards and it plays 700, I'm 50 ******* yards past the green, same if Rory played it that way.
I just think you all are looking at it too literally. Yes, a yard = yard. But a hack is going to have to play it as a longer distance in club selection because of how the wind affects them.
Regardless of how we see it, a hack couldn't reach the green in 4 which was my original point.
As a side note - in DM's, Doc tells me he can get home in 3 shots into the wind.

You may have seen this video but it's his top 10 solos. John Wall speed and just embarrasses people.
please bottle your mind.

Ah. Now the conversation makes more sense. The new ignore format makes conversations like that hard to follow.
700 yards for a high capper in 3 shots is pretty damn unlikely for a number of reasons. Single digit % gir likelihood I'd guess.

Mastery. Now convince your wife that it "wasn't too bad" and the rest should be cream cheese. If she catches even the slightest, I mean the SLIGHTEST hint of how much you really enjoyed the drive she'll stomp out this well-devised scheme of yours so fast it'll make your head spin.
^ unless you're sneaking smokes or something, I still don't get the appeal of a 9 hour drive, no matter the circumstance. I'm all for solo time, but I at least need to be drinking.
KAT on the court pregame for insight, as a rookie -- LOL. What a stud. :sunglasses:

The solo drive likely has increased appeal if your a dad. My wife generally sleeps on long trips, but I mean throw kids in the mix and I can't even imagine road trips. And now they have iPads and DVDs and ****. What must our parents have thought loading us up in the van and heading for Myrtle Beach? Gawd.
Also, as I told Bbdk- Holly Sonders is pretty much Madison Ivy. Now enjoy your US Open coverage.

LOL. Pathetic.
Thought it was UK/Vandy at first when they showed the crowd. #USA Looks like the major sports are safe for awhile here.

From what I gather, the average golfer loses about 12 yards per every 140 yards in 10mph headwind. So, the avg golfer is going to lose about 55 yards over that 684. In order to get to the green it is going to take the avg golfer what would be 740 yards in perfect conditions. A hacker, even more.
