Hate on Tiger for cheating on his wife.  Hate on him for his red shirts.  Hate on him for throwing the occasional club, or an F-bomb.  Just acknowledge that you're not objective, because by any objective standard, he's the best in the world, by a pretty significant margin.

Ridiculous thread

He won 3 PGA tournaments this year. They just turned out to be the wrong ones. Nobody who wins 3 times in a year is finished.

He's the 3rd ranked golfer in the world. If he's finished, so are all but two others. He had a weekend lead in a major...two days ago. You know, LeBron missed a jumper in the gold medal game ye

Tiger has 5-6 years left in him (after this year) of good quality golf (look at Phil Mickelson who at 42, is still playing high quality golf while being Tiger's Sr by 5 years).

It's not about this up-coming Augusta, it's about the 24+ majors that Tiger has left ahead of him while he is still playing high level golf.  After this year, he will have 6 more good shots at Augusta.

You guys are all conveniently omitting the fact that Tiger has lost nearly half of the events he's played this year.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
