Famous Persons handicaps

[dlygrisse]

Do you ever look them up on GHIN?

Looked up a Mr. Arnold Palmer in Fla. FYI he plays to a 5.0 at Bay Hill, not bad for someone who is almost 80 years old. This year he has posted a 79 and an 80. Gotta love Arnie still posts scores like the avg. guy at a club.

Has anyone ever looked anyone else up?

My buddy and I were debating his handicap the other day. My guess was a 5. (cool)

I bet he was a happy boy this day.... :D

[larrybud]

Woo hoo, I'm better than Palmer! (BARELY!!)

 

Too hard to search when you need to know what state they're in.

[lagwagon23]

Does anyone know what Sam Snead was shooting in his 80's?

[frankgpass]

I don't but I do look up people like my CEO and CFO. Makes for a good convo topic

[cubfanbob]

I looked up Brian from the current Big Break but he wasn't listed on either GHIN or NGN.

We'll check back to compare handicaps and business/golf resumes when you are 80.

genius! sucks that he wasn't on there.

[sosinsurr]

I look up my buddys to fool around with them and give them a hard time when they don't play well.

[teejaywhy]

Arizona doesn't use the GHIN, but you can type in some names on the AGA handicap lookup.

 

http://www.azgolf.org/handicapping/lookup....p;SubCategory=2

 

Like the Whisper Rock guys: Gary McCord, Billy Mayfair, Geoff Ogilvy, Paul Casey, Andrew Magee, Peter Kostis, etc.

 

You can also find Alice Cooper (5.2 Phoenix Country Club).

[sosinsurr]

The best junior golfer in my state, and one of the best in the U.S. I see is sporting a +5.1

 

That's just not fair LOL

[dlygrisse]

look what i found

 

 

 

putting up some decent scores on a very hard course. who knew that guy was a stick :dntknw:

How many gimme's do you think The Donald gets inside 8 feet? Something tells me I would like to play him at that index BY STRICT Rules. Anyone know if this is a vanity handi? Betcha he is playing with a lot of guys who let him do what he wants and dont want to show up the boss. JMO

It looks like he put up back to back 72's in a tourney, so that's probably legit. Unless of course it was HIS tournament, and the other players in his 4-some were Ivanka, Donald Jr and one of the Apprentices!

[XYB34A]

there was an article in golf digest back in the early 1990's. he had a one handicap then

[Mainlinegolfer]

Hmm, Trump has an "R" restriction on his handicap index because of his two exceptional (72) tournament scores. That's a techique used to prevent "sandbagging". On the other hand, a "1" or even the current "3" index for a 63 year old real estate "executive" who likely doesn't have much time to play or practice (at least enough to maintain a 1 or 3 handicap index) might imply a "vanity" handicap. Of course, Trump would never sandbag and the thought of him having a vanity handicap...well, that would imply that he is vain. Inconceivable.

[RichB]

..well, that would imply that he is vain. Inconceivable.

 

 

Vain?, nah, not *Mr* Donald Trump. :)

[ButterCutter2]

I played trump international in march, and the donald, in a foursome with paul o'neill played through me. The Donald, from all accounts around the Met Golf area, is no 3. He's more like a 9. A big raker inside 8 feet is the word from the caddies at trump in palm beach. The drive he hit on the hole he played through us was a snap hook left and on cue one of his friends just said "first bad one of the day". it was priceless. He was actually pretty friendly though.

[sosinsurr]

I know Trump was one of the mini stories in Rick Reilly's book Who's Your Caddy, but for the life of me can't remember what he played to back when he caddied for him
