Well the first round is underway and Tiger is the clubhouse leader at -7 right now. Hard to follow considering he teed off before 8am and radio coverage comes on at 11am and the Golf Channel begins their coverage at 3pm. Anyway, I followed the PGA Shot Tracker, which is pretty neat. You can also listen to XM's coverage for free online:

Very nice round by Tiger, currently in a 3 shot lead in the clubhouse. Lots of players left of course, some haven't even started (Kim, Mickelson), but it looks like Tiger will be playing for the win this tournament. Should be a good one, lots of the best players in the world on the starting list.

Sucks that I'm at work and can't watch a single shot except of the stuff they post at PGATour.com

Thanks for the shot tracker link, that is very cool. Now I am not going to get anything done here at work the next two days.

This is getting interesting. Phil is at -5 in second place and is still on the 14th hole. I guess he eagled the par 5 7th.

Without (to my knowledge) a major (naming) sponsor, does anyone know how this event is financed? Is the PGA Tour handling it while they try to get a replacement for Wachovia?
Does anybody know? It's odd for a regular tour event to be named after the course it's played on.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Wells Fargo holds the naming rights after buying out Wachovia last year. Northern Trust received a huge amount of negative press for throwing the parties and festivities that come with being the title sponsor of the PGA Tour event at Riviera in February, just after they received a federal bailout, so Wells Fargo/Wachovia are hoping to keep a low profile.

I just want a Tiger and Phil Saturday and Sunday. Is that too much to ask for? LOL. Maybe they can kiss and makeup too.

It's nice to see a traditional course played by the elite players. There are only a few left that don't look tricked up in an attempt to thwart the modern player/modern equipment.

I think the lack of rough has a little more to with the drought-like weather they've had for several months than anything.

But I agree, it is nice to see.

I'd rather see a Tiger/Kim showdown.

Zach Johnson is up to the challenge with -8 thru 15 today. 66% driving accuracy and 80% GIR.

Phil only -1 today, Villegas -5 thru 16, Karlsson -5 thru 17.

This could be a good 'un.

If Tiger plays as well in his last 3 rounds as he did in the first, there won't be a showdown with anyone on Sunday!

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      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.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      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?
