The Golf Channel had it on.  Amazing how much the game has changed since then.  Tiger is a good 10 to 20 yards longer off the tee and at least a club longer with his irons.  One thing I noticed about his game was how much better his irons were, especially with distance control.

It was also fun to watch Hal Sutton strut that place.  The dude was hitting 3 irons into some of the par 4's and one of the par 3's.

I watched a little of it too - was funny seeing Hal swing an old TaylorMade Bubble Shaft Driver. For 2000, that was the shizz. (I believe the replay was the 2000 Players that Sutton won ("Be the right club toDAY") - 2001 was the 'Better than most' Tiger drain on 17 when he won)

Was also interesting how young Tiger looked back then.

My mistake.  I remember, watching the back nine of that one on Monday morning.  Sutton and Tiger didn't say a word to each other all day.  Is it me or has the Stadium course at Sawgrass gotten considerably longer since this tournament was played?

I watched that last night. Great dual. One thing that stood out for me was Tiger's shirt. Was only about 3 sizes too big. But that's the way they were worn then.

    • 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.
    • 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.
