I was hoping Rory would get it done today but Cam Smith went out and got it.

Where’s the jxdama comment on the course being too easy/not a proper test?

Didn't know anything about Cam Smith before this week but he really does seem like a good guy; I find him very likeable.  I'm a fan.

If you had told me at the beginning of the that day Rory would go bogey free and Hovland would be over par, I would have said Rory won by 5-6. Kudos to Cam Smith. But what a missed opportunity for Rory.

Seriously. Is it the best chance he's had in the last… eight years? Was there a better one I'm forgetting?

Closest I think of was the 2018 Masters, in the last group but 3 behind Reed. He got it to within 1 after 2 but then immediately fell back. There’s been a lot of top 10s for him, but nothing that close.

This was probably the closest shave he's had, but man has he been close quite a bit these last eight years. So tough to win one of these things.

Well I had a great day out yesterday at St Andrew’s.  The course was incredibly hard under foot,  even after the mornings rain.  
We spent time on 3,4,15,16,17 and walked out to the 11th green to watch the leaders come through. 
Watched the last hour back in the beer garden, it’s hard to see enough on the course to figure out what’s going on.
Great atmosphere and I spoke to a lot of Americans who had combined a golf holiday with the week. One group were on a golf cruise around Scotland - I did something similar around the Caribbean 20 years ago when I worked on the cruise ships. They were loving it.

This is a fantastic direction for the game to be trending. After Shane Lowry holed out twice in a row, they showed a replay of some middle of the road tour pro from the 90s doing something similar and I was struck by how old and hilariously unathletic most of the guys looked back then, and that the game is trending in the right direction

I was hoping for Rory to catch him. I honestly wanted to see a playoff, but Rory just couldn't get anything to drop from distance and he wasn't hitting the ball close enough to get a better look. 

Great win by Smith.

Exciting Open right to the end. For some reason, I couldn't get the DVR broadcast from my local NBC station. But it did record on NBC Universo, so I watched that. Same video feed, only with Spanish speaking announcers. I didn't miss the English commentary one bit, and heard a lot of "fabuloso" and "quattro birdies" in the background. In short, I could figure out the drama without the need for commentary. Just like "being there". 


Did Rors mis-hit his drive on 18? How did it not roll farther?

    • If you still have that code available, I would love to get a copy. We have PowerShell code that pulls indexes and individual 9-hole handicaps for the tee sets of the course we play. We have 40 players and use this data for skins. We do skins by flight which we have 4 of them A,B,C,D and without pulling this data it would be almost impossible to do in the application. Right now, we also grab each "card" as it comes off the course and put it into a spreadsheet to help us understand who won the round and helps us with skins. Each golfer is required to enter their own scores in GHIN also. Our goal is to have each golfer enter in the scores in GHIN but pull the individual hole scores down each week after the round is posted so that we can figure skins, and points. I found a site for APIs, but it is old referencing https://api.ghin.com/api/v1. Our current code uses https://api2.ghin.com/api/v1. I tried using that along with what was provided in the old doc, but it appears many of the API signatures changed. I'm hoping I can use the python code to get examples of the API calls I need. if nothing else I could recode ours to use python.
    • This is pretty interesting. I don't have a Stack radar so I can't use the app, but given what they say it should be fairly easy to come up with some kind of proxy to it if I spend an hour with a trackman. Just note what ball speed gives what distances and plot it. It's presumably not directly linear, but if you hit 50 shots between 30 and 100 yards, you'll have enough to pin down most yardages in that window (yards vs ball speed). Then rather than trying to match distances, just try to match ball speeds with whatever radar you do have. The whole strokes gained thing would be more difficult, but that's not really necessary to work on it. Or just buy a Stack radar...
    • I don't think that is what the study was showing. It just showed that golfers who spent less time over the ball performed better. It didn't say pending their normal pace.
    • No…? When we edit the title of topics, a little note appears.
    • Rush or delay your own pace and you are probably going to suffer in the long run. PGA pro are well oiled machines that work on an specific pace, it's not surprise that if you move them out of their normal routine things are going to go sideways. I normally don't rush shots, but I sometimes delay the trigger if I'm not feeling it. The result is a lack of athleticism, I kind of get a little stiff and I could loose some yards and accuracy.
