I'm just trying to think of something that looks worse than Ryan Moore addressing the ball.

Any suggestions?

This is the only position that matters to me......of course, i'm a greater seattle-tacoma guy and certainly a homer

Maybe halfway into the backswing, but at address? Surely, Tommy Gainey holds that honor.

Gainey doesn't look like he's "going to the bathroom".

lmfao.  I've always thought the same thing.  Looks like he is trying to jam his  club up his ass.  Never liked watching him swing but, he is on tour and I'm not.

He's definitely really squatty over the ball. And it looks like he keeps his hands really close to his body. Not my favorite swing by any means, but he's the pro at my home course so I'm not gonna knock him.

Not sure - I've never noticed Ryan Moore's address position, possibly because his impact position is so good, but perhaps because his cloting is so awful. Not sure why anyone would care what a tour professional's address position looks like to be honest.

It's extremely important. It's a serious business.

More important than scoring and more important than sponsorship deals.

But nowhere near as important as telling the world you're a Christian and pointing to the sky when the cameras are on a la the saintly Zach J.

Give me Moore's "I'm taking a crap while I'm lining up" position over that any day of the week.

Watching Gainey's swing makes me involuntarily clench my teeth. It's like watching a semi truck collide with a train - you know what's coming, but you can't look away and you wince at impact.

Tommy two gloves wins it for sure. I was watching him this weekend, OMG his impact position!!! He's squats down so much, one time Nantz said he better watch out he doesn't hit himself in the head with the ball coming off the iron. It was so funny I spit up my coffee.

      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.
