Every chunk of data has its own private bell curve.

Only 'normally distributed' data has a bell curve.  Not all data follows a normal distribution.  So no, every chunk of data is not normally distributed.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

If you grouped Tiger with two random club pros, you still wouldn’t be able to put together a group using the rest of the field that could equal his group’s majors or PGA Tour wins totals.

Whoever named Lake Merced Golf Club was a bit generous with the truth.

Good point Turtleback.  My bad.  Yes, it takes a Gaussian distribution to achieve a bell curve.  Sometimes there can be skewed distribution that doesn't produce a bell curve, then you end up with what I would call a multi-modal distribution or graph.  Sorta like the distribution of my golf shots.

Tiger just hit a gap wedge 95 yards.  Finally, he does something I can do besides missing putts!

Second place Lorenzo-Vera dropped an f bomb during post round interview back in 2019.

Okay, I have turned a corner on the commercials-with-golf on the same screen view.  I just got to see Tony Finau  and Tiger Woods make putts during an AT&T commercial.  I don't much care for AT&T but their commercials are fantastic.

Playing the final 3 holes as birdie-par-birdie is pretty good.  If Tiger can play every 3-hole stretch this way tomorrow, he has a chance to win this.

Nothing like a positive attitude. If you feel like putting your money where your optimism is you can get 1500/1 on Tiger to win tomorrow

I think Faldo referenced Depeche Mode. Enjoy the Silence.

Phil quoted Dave Pelz for saying the flagstick can help you.  Phil, I don't want to tell you how to talk, but I would have said a different name if I were asked on TV about the flagstick.  

Also, Tommy Fleetwood had all that downtime during the break, he's made a ton of money over the past few years, and he didn't get his haircut.  I realize hair cut places were closed, but you'd think he could hire someone to come to his place and do it or something.  Maybe England works differently than the U.S..  I'm starting to think he's doing the long hair thing on purpose.

There’s so many in contention it feels like I’m missing a lot of shots. Don’t show McIlroy. He’s pretty much out of it.

Haotong Li had the best first pitch of anyone I've seen attempt the feat this calendar year.

This is a common bugbear of mine. Not enough coverage of golf, too much BS chat, interviews and of course commercials...

Mickelson is quite the chatterbox. The peloton is breathing down the leader’s neck.

I'm enjoying listening to Phil as an announcer. He's got some interesting insights, I think. And, he can be pretty funny.

Totally agree. I think he’s doing great. Astronomically better than Love III.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      I have trouble with vertigo on occasion, but have gotten nutritional and biofeedback tips to keep it at bay. Dehydration can help trigger v-like symptoms so one recommendation, along with maintaining overall hydration, is to start with 8 oz. of water early in the morning. A meta-analysis on Golf As Physical Activity indicated that golf is rated as a moderately intensive physical activity. This scientific literature review came from the University of Edinburgh. The physical activity level ties into hydration. A former university colleague was a marathon runner who had published a couple of articles on endurance training. He likewise said that golf was a moderate physical activity especially when the round stretched past  the two-hour mark. For hydration he recommended switching from water to electrolyte drink on the back nine (past two hour point of exercise) to prevent cramping. At the two-hour point of moderate activity, water starts flushing electrolytes out of the body, which can lead to fatigue and cramping. (I have had trouble with leg cramps in the past during exertion.) During a round, I start out with water on the front nine and switch to sports drink on the back nine. If the day is unusually hot, I may drink 8 oz. of Pedialite concentrate before going to the course. Maintaining overall hydration plus on-course boosters keeps me going.

      Puerto Vallarta Vacation / Vidanta

      By Mystique · Posted

      Personally I’d try booking direct first - either via the Vidanta golf reservations number/email or through the resort concierge - especially for Christmas/New Year. Vidanta’s main courses (Greg Norman and Nicklaus designs) are popular and can book out fast this time of year, so direct often gives you the best shot at your preferred tee times.
