Default Re: Daniel parodies the Ivey vs. Vaswani/et. all golf \"hustle\"

A bit off-topic, but I don't understand why people play golf for money - especially at these stakes.

Assuming that the golfing performance of the players is pre-determined (by their usual performance), everything is decided from the handicap that either of the players are given. Because of this, I find it ridiculous that the players set and accept their handicaps based on how the opponents claim to rate themselves. The players have an obvious motivation to adjust their rating in order to receive a greater handicap/advantage. And, the last time I checked - in terms of telling the truth - poker players and degenerate gamblers in general weren't exactly encyclopedias.
