This week the tour stops in Memphis,Tennessee for the St Jude Classic. Yet again there is another pretty strong field here this week (but you'd expect that the week before a major). phil's back and raring to go but so are people like garcia, stenson, harrington, goosen, clark, toms and leonard. this week im gunning for camilo as he has got a little run of made cuts going and when his game is on, it is on! who's gonna win this week?

I really do hope Phil does decent just for sentimental reasons but I like Stenson this week. He's obviously a great player, just to do what he did at the Players against the best field and a very tough course...I'm sure he'll have his game face on with only a week before the US open. I'll be looking for him on the first page come Sunday. I'd also like to think David Toms will be up there in contention on the weekend. He won this event in '03 and '04, add in 6 top 10s and he's looking solid for this week.

I hope Phil does well to get prepared for Bethpage. He likes to play the week before a Major, and it seems to be a good plan for him. By the way, the LPGA is holding a Major this week---the LPGA Championship at Bulle Rock, a Pete Dye course in Maryland. That should be interesting, and I hope an American wins---Paula or Natalie or Cristie, or even the Great Gray Hair---Juli Inkster.

I admire this tournament, a good cause. Have friends who have won it, and the Texas-Tennesse connection is real -- good guys. Few years ago, I got to play in a Texas-Tennesse Ryder Cup match against the Tennesse guys -- great fun.

I know I'm going to watch, but I have more of an 'eh' attitude. The US Open is the next week and it will be my first US Open that I can watch and appreciate. Before a year or two ago it was one of those things where I would catch highlights of it or give it an 'oh, ok its a pretty big golf tournament' if it happened to be on where I was.
Now I just can't wait for it to come on. I tell my other friends about it and they think I've lost my mind.
So I am excited for this tournament to be over and open week to start!

I think the St Jude will be good...I think Phil might revamp his course management a little and play smarter...just my hunch. I think he always tries to bomb the driver, seems like he swings out of his shoes (and when he does he smokes it right up there with JB, D. Johnson and Bubba) but it gets him into more trouble when he doesn't hit it on the screws.

Of course the US Open is "holy week" at my house

Phil just might do that in gearing up for the open. I am glad to hear he's back to play in it. I hope he plays really well.

I agree with you. The US Open will be super is we can see Phil and Tiger battle it out.

I see Jose Maria Olazabal is doing well. That is great, and I wish him well. While Seve always had intensity, Jose Maria was the cool dude who partnered well with the Hot Head during the Ryder Cup matches. I thought he was an old guy, but he was born in 1966, so he is only 43 years old---a "youngster".

      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?
