Handicapped

From the When Pigs Fly Department, for the first time in AI history, all players have official GHIN handicaps!  For years, Gordon could only guess; Heimsch would post with the frequency of a 7-year locust; Paze always posts, but his handicap either doesn't travel well or he was as out of golf shape as he is out of shape generally; while Burke posts everything, but typically needs a hang over adjustment.  But, with the onset of the summer AI, Gordon's entry into the GHIN system and Heimsch's return to posting, we may actually have some usable data for AI-XVIII.

Herewith the current Indexes for the players:

Paze:  6.6
Burke:  9.3
Heimsch:  10
Gordon:  15.1

Translated into yellow tees at Bay Hill:

Paze:  8
Burke:  11
Heimsch:  12
Gordon: 18

Several players may opt to play from the Red Tees or the Combo Tees.  Adjustments for that can be made - typically 3-4 shots deducted for the Reds and 1-2 shots for the Combos.

  1. It's absolutely true that I posted very few scores beyond March in 2013, but the previous year I posted 147...In 9 months.

    And about two dozen thus far in 2014.
