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.

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.

Cameron Tringale has been disqualified from the PGA Championship after signing an incorrect scorecard following his second round on Friday.

😣

He was in it? Lol.

Just about every time I look up, someone is missing a fairway.

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.
