Peter Kostis and Gary McCord are back with an all-new episode of their fast-growing YouTube show and podcast, Kostis & McCord Off Their Rockers, a GOLF Production.
The guys talk about the problems with the USGA handicap system in golf, particularly how it impacts scramble tournaments. Gary shares his experiences with scrambles, highlighting a situation where his team shot 17 under par but still lost by 12 strokes, suggesting discrepancies in the handicap system’s fairness. He recounts a humorous yet embarrassing moment from a major scramble event, emphasizing how the varying skill levels of players affect competition outcomes.
The conversation also touches on the challenges of accurately assessing a player’s handicap, noting that not all players with the same handicap are equal in skill or ability, particularly regarding driving distance. Gary criticizes the reliance on statistics in golf and suggests that improvements could be made to reflect players’ true capabilities within the handicap system.
Then Peter shares a great drill to help our speed control on the greens then Gary takes Peter and us inside his garage to show off his collection of weird, crazy and classic clubs he’s acquired.
