The Pros are headed to Sawgrass next week to compete in The Players Championship, so it’s time to roll out another prediction contest.

Who do you think will WIN the 2012 Players and what SCORE will they shoot?

To enter, post your answer right here in this thread. As a tiebreaker, your answer must also include a 2nd and 3rd choice. This will be your chance to win a set of the Mizuno MP-59 irons!

The Rules:

- You must be a registered member of The Sand Trap.
- You must be a legal resident of the fifty (50) United States or the District of Columbia and aged eighteen (18) or older as of the date of entry.
- Your answer must include the name and score of the golfer you are predicting to win The Players Championship, as well as your 2nd and 3rd choices for the winner (if nobody correctly predicts the winner)
.

- One entry per person. Any additional entries or modifications invalidate all entries.

- The Winner will be selected as the first person in the contest to correctly pick both the winner and the score.
- If no one picks the correct score, the winner will be selected as the first person to correctly pick the winner with the closet score.

- If no one picks the right winne r, the p rize will be awarded to the closest 2nd and then 3rd choice predictions using the same criteria as above (score first, then closest to score, in order by date and time posted).


The Prize:
- One (1) Grand Prize winner will be awarded one (1) Mizuno MP-59 Men’s Iron Set.

    • 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.
