No confidence boost there. The putter has been important this week. If that club fails, he'll have a tough time. Let's hope he can get it going again with a birdie soon and not copy DJ.

I woke up, the sun was shining (a rare occurrence lately), and I thought I'd go to the range. Then I saw when the starting times were, and tuned in. So glad I did; this is going to be great! Also, my first year having cable at my own place... events like this make it worth it!

Missed a two-footer with a ton of break. Lip-out.

Conditions look tough. Nobody yet making a move.

It's on Golf Channel, btw.

Ryan Moore is -4 for the day. I would say that's making a move.

Thanks for the recap, and I know, but basic cable only

Still, hoping for a great finish with a bunch of names all fighting to the end.

Phil's looking like he's trying to throw a 66 or 67 on the board today. If Tiger doesn't turn it around, 70 would be good for him.  Ryan Moore and Kevin Na look to have their games in high gear thus far.

Yeah, he's jacked up for the pairing! And right as I typed this he hits one to about 2 feet on 5. Kid Mickle is on the move!

I want Tiger's putter to heat up!! not necessarily because want him to win, but for a dramatic Tiger vs Phil at Pebble Beach Finish! Maybe a playoff?! Cuz Charlie Wi is gonna be swimming with the seals pretty soon....not sure what that means but I'm going with it. :-D

Been meaning to mention this since the Chevron ... Tiger needs Nike to make his new shoes in a black color. His shoes are standing out like Freddie Couples' did!

They do make them in black but every time he has worn them he plays like crap. He wore them in Australia and actually changed to white ones at the turn. I think he did the same thing at the Chevron.

    • Makes sense.  Like I said, I wouldn't have been upset at their original offer either, and based on the fine print it seems like they've held up their end of the deal.  
    • If you've only had to adjust retroactively one time in 8 years and have around 5 people each year without handicaps, that's like 40-50 people total so it sounds like you're doing a pretty good job. I think your questions give enough to go off of. This might be a good way to get new people to actually post a few scores during the 6 weeks leading into the first event. Something like "New members will be eligible for tournament money once they have at least 3 posted rounds in GHIN" or something like that. If they can get 3 rounds in prior to their first event, then they're eligible. If not, they'll soon become eligible after an event or two assuming they play a little bit outside of events.
    • This is a loooooong winded narrative so if you don't like long stories, move on. 😉 Our senior club typically gets about 25 new members each year. We lose about 25 members each year for various reasons (moved to FL/AZ, disabled, dead, too expensive). Of the new members, usually 20 have an active GHIN handicap. About 5 each year do not have a GHIN handicap. When they join our club, we give each member a state association membership that includes GHIN handicapping services. We play a series of handicapped tournaments over the summer. When we sign up a new member who does not have a GHIN handicap, we attempt to give them an estimated index until they have sufficient scores posted to have an actual GHIN index.  Our first event typically is around May 15 so, in theory, a new member has about 6 weeks to post a few scores. Posting season in the Mitten starts April 1. Inevitably, several of the unhandicapped individuals seem  to either not play until the first tournament or can't figure out how to enter scores (hey, they are seniors). That situation then leads to my contacting the new member and asking a series of questions: a. Did you ever have a GHIN handicap? If yes, which State and do you recall what it was? b. Do you have an alternate handicap through a non-GHIN handicap service or a league? c. What do you think your average score was last year (for 9 or 18) d. What was your best score last year? Where did you play and which tee was used? e. What do you consider a very good score for yourself? Based on their responses I attempt to give them an index that makes them competitive in the first couple events BUT does not allow them to win their flight in the first couple events. We don't want the new members to finish last and at the same time, we don't want someone with a "20" playing handicap to win the third flight with a net 57. In the event some new member did shoot a net 57, we also advise everyone that we can and will adjust handicaps retroactively when it is clear to us that a member's handicap does not accurately reflect their potential. We don't like to adjust things retroactively and in the 8 years I have chaired the Handicap Committee, we have only done it once. So here are the questions to the mob: Any ideas how to do this better? Any questions one might ask an unhandicapped individual to better estimate their index/handicap? Would it be reasonable to have a new player play once (or more?) without being eligible to place in the money?
