Okay, fashion and color coordination are not anywhere in my skillset.  But what's wrong with them?

Boy, of all the things I was looking for during the broadcast, this was nowhere on the radar.  But to each his own!

Well....he’s a nice kid. But reality? He had a pretty nice upbringing. Country club golf, entire family excelled at sports, had every resource he needed to pursue his dream and enormous talent.

I’d like to see him win for sure. But I don’t really have a soft heart for him.

Yeah, same here.  I like him just fine.

Dustin Johnson laid up last year, IIRC. Tiger did, from 204, too.

I heard that's a pattern among guys named Johnson who want to win at Augusta... ;-)

Kuch is just a good trash talker but friendly. He’s way too ‘ aw golly shucks’ to win a major. He doesn’t have that killer competitor edge when a big moment is there. He’s good a plucking off Sony open type tournaments. He’s not major material.

He has always reminded me of Goofy.

He's been doing that for years. I second what @saevel25 said. I encourage my players to do this throughout the round, too, keep exaggerating it.

After reading what you both wrote, I now remember him doing that in the past. I guess it's not a new thing for him. It feels unusual because you don't see other players doing it, but that just might be because we don't see them standing in the fairway waiting to hit on TV.

Anyone else watching online at the Masters.com?  I never really went into the online version more than watching the featured groups or the bundle of holes they show, but you can watch every shot hit by any player, by clicking on that player and selecting the hole you want to watch. And they will show you each of their shots plus a track of each of the shots, pretty awesome.

So I'm fascinated with what Bryson is doing as it relates to bulking up and applying serious analytics to golf.  However, let's assume that over time he ends up bludgeoning traditional golf courses to dust.  What's the overall point of doing that? Of course it's a challenge to him but then what becomes the next challenge? If you listened to Bryson's pressers at the Masters, lots of young golfers are asking him for advice on bulking up and persuing more power.  To what end?

Is Jordan really back?  He lucked out on the first round by holing out that eagle chip, but more importantly, is his game officially back?  I would say not quite.  He's still missing fairways and were not for his chipping and putting, he'd be out of the mix.

And Rory.  Man I wish he would get his head together.  He's got the best swing on tour, but you'd never know it, given how he struggles at times (especially at the Masters).  These guys go through swing overhauls, AFTER they've won a major championship!  What the hell?

Apparently Rory's troubles in the last year are all to do with chasing further distance after Bryson won that US Open by out driving everyone.  Not like he was short to begin with but he got even longer.  The problem is it affected his swing plane and all his current issues stem from that.  I reckon he will be back to his best soon with a few tweaks.  I can even see him winning a major this year.

Augusta's greens were stimping close to 15 yesterday, looks like the slowed them down just a touch today.

They were not, no.

15 is nearly impossible. They were 12.5, maybe 13. Tops.

    • Makes sense.  Like I said, I wouldn't have been upset at their original offer either, and based on the fine print it seems like they've held up their end of the deal.  
    • If you've only had to adjust retroactively one time in 8 years and have around 5 people each year without handicaps, that's like 40-50 people total so it sounds like you're doing a pretty good job. I think your questions give enough to go off of. This might be a good way to get new people to actually post a few scores during the 6 weeks leading into the first event. Something like "New members will be eligible for tournament money once they have at least 3 posted rounds in GHIN" or something like that. If they can get 3 rounds in prior to their first event, then they're eligible. If not, they'll soon become eligible after an event or two assuming they play a little bit outside of events.
    • This is a loooooong winded narrative so if you don't like long stories, move on. 😉 Our senior club typically gets about 25 new members each year. We lose about 25 members each year for various reasons (moved to FL/AZ, disabled, dead, too expensive). Of the new members, usually 20 have an active GHIN handicap. About 5 each year do not have a GHIN handicap. When they join our club, we give each member a state association membership that includes GHIN handicapping services. We play a series of handicapped tournaments over the summer. When we sign up a new member who does not have a GHIN handicap, we attempt to give them an estimated index until they have sufficient scores posted to have an actual GHIN index.  Our first event typically is around May 15 so, in theory, a new member has about 6 weeks to post a few scores. Posting season in the Mitten starts April 1. Inevitably, several of the unhandicapped individuals seem  to either not play until the first tournament or can't figure out how to enter scores (hey, they are seniors). That situation then leads to my contacting the new member and asking a series of questions: a. Did you ever have a GHIN handicap? If yes, which State and do you recall what it was? b. Do you have an alternate handicap through a non-GHIN handicap service or a league? c. What do you think your average score was last year (for 9 or 18) d. What was your best score last year? Where did you play and which tee was used? e. What do you consider a very good score for yourself? Based on their responses I attempt to give them an index that makes them competitive in the first couple events BUT does not allow them to win their flight in the first couple events. We don't want the new members to finish last and at the same time, we don't want someone with a "20" playing handicap to win the third flight with a net 57. In the event some new member did shoot a net 57, we also advise everyone that we can and will adjust handicaps retroactively when it is clear to us that a member's handicap does not accurately reflect their potential. We don't like to adjust things retroactively and in the 8 years I have chaired the Handicap Committee, we have only done it once. So here are the questions to the mob: Any ideas how to do this better? Any questions one might ask an unhandicapped individual to better estimate their index/handicap? Would it be reasonable to have a new player play once (or more?) without being eligible to place in the money?
