He pushed both of those off the face. They weren’t misreads . He is just looking for an outlet to blame

So 115 years ago. Should we also compare other sports to what they looked like over a century ago? Maybe your question should be why it was standardized and maybe you'll stop being a dumbass about this

Dude, you are arguing against a strawman

Par is fine to use and makes sense for fans following. It should stay as it makes tracking a tournament live so much easier

But one thing you said that it’s the entire point of golf is ludicrous, as total strokes is what matters and will always matter, and more importantly my main and only point, raw strokes is factually based on actual freaking data a better way to judge performances than score to par

That isnt controversial or even subjective. You have chooses to argue with a mouse in your pocket I guess while yelling about others arguing

I didn’t start the argument :lol:

I’m just Dennis Rodman here getting called for a bullshite technical

Par was standardized in 1911. Please show where I ever said differently

Par did not starting to get leaned on, as I said verbatim, until the golf tv boom in the 60s

Look it up if you don’t believe me. Before then total strokes was still the most used way to report on golf . When tv came around score to par made it easier to let the audience stay engaged with where everyone stood since players were on different holes as they were watching it unfold

I have never heard anyone actually refute using total strokes isn’t better than score to par

Statistically speaking it’s extremely clear what are the best ways to judge performances and its this:

1. Strokes gained relative to field
2. Raw strokes adjusted
3. Raw strokes
4. Score to par

That isn’t arguable

It’s 100% true, all of it

st. Andrew’s plays a par 72 at 7300 yards while Shinnecock plays to a 70 at 7400 yards……

It makes far far far more sense to measure any course my total strokes versus par

Total strokes should always be used versus score to par IMHO

Yeh true. Every year the little leprechaun and posh British media act like the open is a true test of a golfer and tricky blah blah blah when it’s really a goat ranch and easy

What a goal post move from you :rotflmao:

You said Argentina dominated possession in the first half and up to the point England scored. I simply showed you that you were completely incorrect and possession domination did not happen until England scored and Tuchel started his subs

The Knicks lost what, two games in the playoffs? Real achievement there, difficulty wise.

Some of y’all are insane creatures :lol:

Odds for team USA to win gold before tournament started: +200

Odds for Knicks to win nba title before season. +900

The Knicks faced far longer odds and overcame a longer title drought. OP is in perpetual victim status

That is absolutely ridiculous

I would rather them hand out free adderal to fans if they can’t handle the game being a little longer
