Phil withdrew because he played like shit. No other reason. Sulking 100%

What made that chip-in great was that if it hadn't hit the hole he would still have had just a tap-in for par - the speed was perfect. I get what you are saying and he has never been

Yeah, I read that last night.  How would that even work?  He texted from his personal phone or had somebody do it for him?  That seems odd.

I watched my replay on DVR. It was Schwartzel putting with his wedge. Crazy that I cannot find a single mention by the media of this.

Needle movers in the world of golf:

  1. Tiger Woods

There's your complete list. There's a second tier of "needle movers" for hard-core golf fans - but nobody moves the needle like Tiger. Schwartzel must be in tier 3.

You ain't lying about that. However, the media who are on record complaining about on-course poor behavior are hypocrites for remaining silent on this ... or they should just say that they're against " on-air poor behavior."

News on "Mickelson-gate": Apparently he texted Finchem from the sixth fairway during his first round at the memorial: [URL=http://espn.go.com/golf/story/_/id/8013955/phil-mickelson-texted-pga-tour-commissioner-tim-finchem-fairway-memorial-cellphone-usage-being-hand]http://espn.go.com/golf/story/_/id/8013955/phil-mickelson-texted-pga-tour-commissioner-tim-finchem-fairway-memorial-cellphone-usage-being-hand[/URL]

I had thought that the players themselves weren't allowed to use phones during the round, but I don't know where that thought came from.

It came from the PGA Tour. Players are definitely NOT allowed to use cell phones during their round. Phil will likely be hearing from them.

Phil using his cell in the middle of a tournament to complain about the use of cells in the middle of a tournament. Classic.

He was going to bale anyway so maybe he didn't care if he got busted for it.

I think it goes without saying he didn't care...he (allegedly) texted the commissioner directly.  It's definitely ironic if it indeed happened this way.

If true, doesn't Phil's use of his phone (if it was a smartphone with "weather" or GPS) disqualify him?  Meaning he should've been DQ'd rather than WD.

Not if he wasn't using it as a DMD. :)

He was using it to text message only ;-)

Hahahha yeah - like they are going to discipline someone they just placed into the HoF over sending a text message.

Mr Finchem: Phil, we are sorry to inform you but we are going to change the official results of the Memorial tournament.  Rather than a WD, we are going to replace it with a DQ due to the use of a smartphone during the course of play.  I will admit Phil, I was a little dissapointed that you didn't send me a photo with your text.

Mr. Mickelson: Come on Tim.  That will not work.  You see, I have a new 5Hr Energy sponsorship which I executed just this week.  How are we to market that I turned my WD into a W by drinking 5Hr Energy!?

He was probably fined.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      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.
