I used to love watching Camilo play. For a while it seemed like he was always in contention and was destined for a great career. Now, it seems as though he's struggling to put the ball in the cup. What's going on with him?

He closed out last year pretty decently, began this year with a DQ, MC, and WD in three of his first four events. He hasn't finished better than T33, which was in the WGC Match Play (T33 can be achieved there by showing up, letting your opponent his a shot, and conceding the match. Although that's not what he did; he lost to Holmes in the first round... who got in at the last minute and I don't think had a practice round). Last year he was playing Cobra. Now he's playing TaylorMade. He's 153rd and 172nd in FIR and GIR, respectively (versus 126 and 127 last year). He's effectively hitting one fewer fairway and one fewer green per round. But wait, his scoring average is 2 shots higher. That's giving away 4 shots to the cutline and 8 to the field if he makes the cut. He's in the top 100 for very few season stats. Hmm... I wonder if "What happened to Camilo?" would be a good numbers game article. Because this post has me thinking now...

Does anybody know who is cadding for him? I heard a couple of weeks ago he fired his. Sure hope that Brett would come back, he's struggling on the Nationwide tour.

I completely forgot about Brett. Yeah, he's struggling on the Nationwide Tour, but if I were him, I'd give it the rest of the season. But yeah, missing one's long time success caddy can't be easy on Camilo.

The game comes easy to no one.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
