Notah Begay was asked about the putting advice he gave Tiger recently.  In talking with Begay, Tigers quote of:

Quote:
"Well, a lot of media people didn't think I could win again, and I had to deal with those questions for quite a bit," Woods said Sunday. "It was just a matter of time; I could see the pieces coming together."

was brought into question.  Notah was then asked if he thinks Tiger keeps up with the media and listens to what they say.  He answered the question with:

Quote:
"He doesn't forget what people write," Begay said. "He probably has a list under his pillow that motivates him at night."

If it were me, silencing the media critics would be number two on my list....after silencing myself of course. I love it when the media comes out with the bold statements and then ultimately get proven wrong.  I can't stand the media....but that is just my opinion.

Me too, the media doesn't care about the fact, just getting viewership.  So the more outrageous or bold the more people will listen or engage.  No one reports the news any more! (just got done watching Sorkin's second episode of Newsroom )

He might not like the spotlight, or maybe he does, I don't know the guy. But he definitely would like to keep the endorsements which are intrinsically connected to said spotlight.

I try to never pass up an opportunity to pimp my blog. I wrote this story last year, which is somewhat on this topic -

      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.
