Zach Johnson - his "I'm just a good little God fearing farm boy from Iowa" act is really lame and he somehow comes across as almost arrogant about it. He praised God over and over last year after The Masters. Hey Zach, God doesn't care who wins The Masters.

I have never been a Greg Norman fan... his very inaccurate claim that Finchem stole the World Tour idea from him.

There's absolutely no doubt who came up with the World Tour idea - it was Greg Norman. He was talking about it and promoting it and then seemed to ahve the backing of the world's leading players and...

Finchem and the PGA Tour whipped it away from his grasp. The World Tour was originally going to be a multi-event Tour, with something like 10-12 big tournaments across the globe. The 4-event (including the World Cup) WGC was a compromise, which was supposed to take premier standard golf across the world. While Norman did his best to look enthusiastic at the launch press conference, you could tell he was absolutely gutted. And, the way it has turned out, he was right to be. As I share in Norman's disappointment, I guess my hate-figure (if one can hate someone one doesn't know) is Steve Finchem. Having said that, I agree that the Players' should be a Major. Just not a fifth.

Jim Furyk...

Have you not seen the movie Beowulf, then? The Grendel monster is even uglier. Sometimes, it's marginal, but the Grendel wins it for me.

Is that Tim Finchem's brother or something?

Pffffffft.

not hate but i got to thinking phil mickelson must be a bit dense when he said he idolizes condeleeza rice

Hate - Tiger Woods; he's a major AH; I can stomach everyone else

Dislike - Phil Michelson; an especially arrogant, prima donna; Nickalaus, Player, Hubert Green, Fuzzy Zoeller, Tom Kite - all immensely arrogant and condescending

Like - Jim Furyk, V.J., Sergio, Walrus, Palmer, Weir

Love - Trevino, Daly, Chi Chi, and all players who recognize that TV golf is entertainment first and foremost and that's what results in $ for players

Don't care for - Els, Love, Funk, Austin

Lust - Creamer, Gulbis

Sergio, I used to like him but his display after the Open was unacceptable. We all do stupid things (the spitting) but be a sportsman and be a man and lose gracefully imo.

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
