I like the Luke Donald call myself for two reasons.

1)  The precision on his iron shots is deadly around Augusta with the undulated greens.  His shots drop stone dead after a bounce or two and they don't spin hard away from the hole.

2)  He is putting phenomenal and converting these precise iron shots. 'Nuff said!

The way Zach Johnson played in 2007 is exactly how Donald is playing RIGHT now.

I would like to see Bubba or DJ, but my guess would by Y.E. Yang. He is playing very well right now. Could have one at The Honda Classic but started his charge too late.

Yang made some serious putts on the back nine at the Honda for sure. I would like to see redemption for DJ.

Well i have to put Tiger in the running just cause he is Tiger and i know he will be ready. Westwood is up there he could be ready to get over his 2nd place finishes. Nick Watney is playing consistent but i will have to say Matt Kuchar is my favorite noone is playing better golf look at the leaderboard when he is playing he is always on the front pagebthere isnt one other player on tour that has player more consistently thru out the last year and a half he is my winner as of now.

after his start to the season, his record there and today im going to say Watney has just took my £10 bet on the 7th April

Zach Johnson could hit fairways.  Short and crooked will be tough to overcome at Augusta--but your right about his iron accuracy and putting.  He sort of reminds me of Jose Maria Olazabal in that way, but Augusta has changed alot since his wins there.

Bubba Watson, He was close at Whistling Straights last year, i think he's learned from that. I like his game for Agusta, especially his cut. If that course is made for a draw (right handed), then his natural cut should fit perfect.

It is getting harder and harder to pick because these guys are all so good.  Luke has been there every week and now with the young guns duking it out it should be a great tournament.

My pick would be Kaymer, but I agree with whomever said that there are soo many players right now that have recently gained confidence in their game that could win it. I'm just not sold yet that Tiger has total control of his shots to give him the win.

And this is why golf has gotten more compelling for me lately.  So many guys have a decent chance in any event - what's not to like?

I kinda am still pulling for Kuchar but at the same time i think Tiger really wants to make a statement so i will really have a selection after Bay Hill.

I fully expect Tiger, McIlroy and Kaymer to be up there on Sunday. Also a nice top 10 for Manassero. (If he qualifies which I think he will). What an amazing talent he is.

    • 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. 
    • 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.
