And only one stroke off of the winning score!

What are the winning numbers in the PowerBall this week, Aquaguru?

What specs did you request? Or did you get to?

was there an official deadline for entering the contest posted before the thread was suspended?

If not, it would be great if that could be communicated. The contest closed an hour before I got a chance to enter, but a good while before the tournament started. Thanks

I will claim predicting the winning score - though none of the players I guessed were the top of the leaderboard.....but they all made the cut.

Yes you were one of the few to predict an over par winning score, you did your homework

I've correctly picked the winner of the last two competitions, but have missed the winning score...  Do I get a consolation prize? :)

      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.
