The wind was some kind of bad this afternoon. Tiger at +1 looks pretty good at the half way point. Going to be a fun weekend. 

A good weekend by Tiger and he may not have to worry about receiving a special exemption to the U.S. Open… 

I’m not even saying he’s going to win… but a good weekend and he won’t need a special invite to the U.S. Open.

Well, Tiger now has the record for Consecutive cuts made at the Masters. 

That's kinda cool. 

I wonder how Jack will move the goal posts on that one?😏

I’m actively saying “miss it” or “ hit it in the water” on every Dechamblow shot. Can’t stand the guy and his phony scientist schtick.

I've forgotten most of the drama around him, and to be fair, most of the scientist monikers are generated by the media.

Quote

Bryson DeChambeau often does things out of the ordinary, and those shenanigans continued Friday during the second round of the 2024 Masters. After hitting his tee shot right on the par-5 13th hole, he had no choice but to punch out toward the 14th fairway. In doing so, he had to move a sign out of the way.

https://golfweek.usatoday.com/lists/masters-2024-bryson-dechambeau-moves-sign-social-media-reaction/

In an otherwise stiff event, I find that this adds to the entertainment. It helps that he's playing well.

A few meltdowns out there on Friday. Hovland carded a professional career worst 81, missing the cut with a +8. JT went from Even to +7 on the last four holes.

I could tolerate BDC on the course much more than seeing that buffoon Greg Norman trolling the grounds.

I',m rooting for Shipley to finish in the top 20. He's already clinched low amateur.

He's not a baffoon, he's a patron. He bought a ticket just like everyone else. lol That had to be a blow to his ego haha.

Why do people believe this kind of crap makes them look better than just outright apologizing? “I had a bad hole and lost my cool, I’m sorry.” Done.

Does anyone know how this came about?? Did the wind blow the sign or or BDC pulled it out to get a clear line?

Amazing there wasnt  better scoring but the golf  is very watchable. One really  good thing  is it  looks  like a  nobody wont  be winning.

    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
