I thought ZJ was going to make a charge.  He missed a couple that would have put him at -13... :(  Congrats to both Matts.

I say congrats to Matthew Astel; if only Kuch had bogeyed 18 and used his cushion then I could have had the MP-59s.

Oh well, maybe next time!

Haha thanks Wally.  The 17th hole scared me with that bogey, but luckily he came through in the end

Thanks John.  I was actually at the Barclay's last year, and was rooting for DJ.  I have loved Kuchar's game ever since he just dominated that tournament.

I will never get as close as I did in the Masters contest.  If Bubba could have made one more damn Birdie! Haha.

These contests are awesome though!

Yeah!  I ended up getting the standard shafts.  Love them!  Only taken to the range so far.  I will be out on the golf course on Tuesday to try them out on a course though!

    • 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.
