I agree, depends on Tiger.


Camilo and ZJ with good rounds today. If Tiger shoots 1 or 2 under it should be a fun weekend.

On the other hand if he shoots 4 or 5 under today, it could be a solo run.

Did anyone see the Tiger interview w/ David Ferhty after the tourny was over. He kept calling Tiger a loser. The first time it was kind of funny but after about the 4th time even though Tiger was smiling I'm sure he was ready to kick him in the nutz !

I think Tiger and Feherty are buds and he took it just fine. And he'll use that as a reason to push even harder this week.

Tiger has never seemed so irrelevant. All he has to do is shoot 69 to win and he does not even break par! A 3-putt par on 14!

It is nice for Glover, Watson and O'Hair, but Tiger did not deliver the expected drama on Sunday. What a let down!

I'm not sure I'd say "irrelevant." He was "in it" all day and has finished top 10 or so in every event he's played this year.

But I agree with the sentiment. He's not consistent. His driver is terrible, but even with that he could still score if his irons were fine. Tiger has always said the secret to playing good golf is to be pin high, and he was anything but all day on Sunday. I think he tried to force that one on 14 a little too much.

It's nice to see someone other than Tiger winning, I think. I've been finding myself rooting against him lately, to be honest.

Two Tiger comments:

1) He's clearly a bit frustrated at the moment but he's keeping his composure and doesn't get defensive or whine when it's all over.
Who does that remind you of, NOT?


Faherty's ribbing was a tribute of course and Tiger knew it. Nice touch.


2) That bunker shot on the par 3 17th (35 footer, with backspin, into a downslope towards the water) was pure genius. One of the best sand saves I've ever seen - not a hint of luck to it, just pure skill, confidence and guts.

Tiger's still got the magic.

      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?
