I'm sorry but how can a professional golfer not take the trouble to know his tee time the next day?  I don't care who else shares the responsibility - very strange.

3 Wood: Taylor stiff
3-hybrid: Nike 18 deg stiff
4-hybrid: Taylor RBZ 22 deg regular
Irons:5-9, Mizuno MP30, steel

Putter: Odyssey 2-ball

is it me or...does the northern trust seem flat and unappealing this year? i find myself trying not to fall asleep watching it. yes i'm excited for freddie but it honestly seems like EVERYONE is sucking, even the leaders are having holes where they're bouncin off those gum trees or we're hearing from the announcers about the damn grass...i love golf but this tournament is leaving me begging for more. even the weather doesn't want this tournament to be on.

I tend to agree.  This tournament isn't doing much for me.  Also, I always hear so many great things about Riviera but the course never impresses me.  Granted I'm basing my opinion from what I see on TV.

I think it's CBS. They have such a hard on for The Masters that all their other coverage is blech. Too much Faldo and pretty much any dosage of McCord and Ian Baker Finch is too much.

good thing McCord can't call the Masters...He's a joke

Riviera is awesome, one of the tougher courses on the tour...makes for somewhat boring golf.  Been there, it's great.

I think it's more interesting when there are difficult greens which require some creativity and delicate shotmaking.  The long bombers are not at an advantage this week. And it's certainly an interesting leader board with Couples, Baddeley, Singh in the mix.

I think Ian Baker Finch is a better golfer than announcer

Conditions are forecast to be a little breezy, so par will be a good score.  Don't see anyone who will go really low, so that pretty much means that someone in the last two groups will win.  As much as I would like to see Couples win, I don't know whether his putting stroke will hold up.  Same for Singh and Senden.  For those reasons, I think it will be between Baddeley, Na and Moore. Who is the best putter?  Probably Baddeley.

But I could be wrong.

Aarons putting has dropped from 2nd last year to 98th this year. He better have the best putting day of his life if he wants to win.

Way too early in the year for stats to matter much.

Feherty & Co on Baddeley's pitch shot: "No, he hit the ground first", "There is a distinct chump before you hear him hit the ball".

Well gee...I don't know, perhaps that's what he was going for?

Nope. He's not. :-) Maybe Mike Weir will win next week. :-)

His current move is somewhere between a one-plane swing and whatever he was doing last year (which was really, really two-plane).

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I played in an outing a few years ago. The course was wet, and it was windy. We all did bad enough to reward us with a PCC of +1 (If I am remembering this correctly). So all of our differentials went up 1.  So, if that score is part of my best 8 out of 20. That means I am getting 1/8th of a differential improvement. For you to get a PCC, you need enough people submitting their score for handicap during that day. Let's say you were the only person who was submitting the score for handicap, odds are you are not getting a PCC.  Which is fine, because no handicap system can be that nuanced. I don't think you'd want it to be. Still, my statement is correct. It takes into account weather and abnormal difficult conditions.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I’ve been rather surprised how my original question relating to the logic behind “differential vs course handicap” elicited the responses expressed on this thread so far. I suppose it shows that there are many who have given this subject a lot of thought. I personally like the current system for the same reasons stated in the post by saevel25 and it works very well in our league. I just needed to get the reasoning/logic clear in my head so I could explain it succinctly to those who had questions. Regarding the ongoing discussion, the only tweak we make is only the scores made in league competition count. (We don’t use GHIN, we do the calculation ourselves.) The only additional thought I had is perhaps the powers that be can come up with a method, when doing the differential calculation, of giving greater weight to the rounds played more recently than those from 20 rounds ago. I’ve been testing this with an idea I had similar to the way colleges calculate GPA’s based on credits offered by different classes, but honestly, the complexity it adds to the calculation isn’t worth the trouble as any change made has proven to be inconsequential.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By 5amZ · Posted

      Day 102 11-21 Early practice session today. Flow drill, getting to lead side, and a bit of skills work. Really need to slow down and ingrain the "rotating" to lead side.  Feels weird-which is great, it means changes, I'm just going too fast right now.
