Match play final.. Was I hustled?

yeah I could think a few jobs that uses this application. People who are in the military, or people like who are in the bomb squad. According to USPS, the odds of you receiving a bomb through mail is 1 in a billion. 99.9% of bomb threats through the phone have been false. Ask those guys if they wanna take chances on 0.1%.
Some others might be MotoGP riders, F1 drivers, coal miners, pilots, the people in TSA screening in airports...

Out of curiosity kg, can you think of any professions that might be even better suited to the application of what we are discussing here than yours? If so, could you name them?

Depends.

The raw probability part...or the low incidence/high consequence part?

Lots of jobs apply one or the other. The range that apply both together are relatively few in number.

The application of odds to real world situations.

By that I'll assume you mean working with raw probabilities.

Professional gambler. Meteorologist. Statistician. Financial/Market Analysts and "Risk Managers". "Quants" (people who build mathematical models of financial market movements in order to control institutional investing strategies). Insurance acturary. Just to name a few. But anyone who operates in an environment where they are required to predict future events, employs this to some degree. Either formally or informally.

Interesting.

I searched "Stableford" in this forum because my club's Stableford tourney is on Saturday, and uncovered this 19 page trainwreck.

This has to be top 5, if not top 3 in WRX history.

Great way to waste 2 hours on a rainy day watching the Honda in the background.

Accept that you got beat! The guy is not a hack and had the ability to shoot lower, quit crying, go practice, and keep an eye on his future scores.

Depends on the guy. Everyone at my club knows who the sandbaggers are and will grumble about it, often.

With that said I have been accused of sandbagging. It is a matter of getting hot before I blow up or recovering quickly after a meltdown.

My HC is legit, but I can get on a roll and play well, just not for all 18.
