I guess the ladies are playing a major this week. I wouldn't have noticed either, except Michelle Wie just moved into a tie for the lead, after having an absolutely dismal season up to now.

Considering the media hype surrounding Beachcomber as a teenager, he seems to be meeting expectations.

On topic, if the leaderboard at this year's Women's US Open doesn't pull people in then there is seriously no hope for the LPGA regaining the popularity it had in the early 90s.

I'm an amateur, thank you very much.  How does her pro career compare to yours BallStriker?

Now, if we could just get Beachcomber to ditch his parents, Ledbetter and go see Butch, he'd be on the right track.  Oh, and he shouldn't have gone to college at Stanford either.  How dare he get an education.

My agent decided I should stay in school.

I think she'll improve now that she has graduated.  At least she's playing.  Her classmate and friend, Andrew Luck, hasn't even signed yet.

The Beachcomber is the name of my favorite bar on Cape Cod. It sits high on a dune above the nice beach.  They occasionally see Great White sharks there.  Recommend it to anyone visiting the outer cape in Wellfleet.

Back on topic.  I guess they had 100 degree heat and nasty humidity on day one.  Yesterday was better.  Creamer is doing OK but missing putts.  Yani is no where to be seen.  Is she playing?

Checked out the highlights on thegoolfchannel.com. She's spent a good part of the tournament in the hay.

Entertaining stuff today. Though I must say you see more bad shots on the LPGA than the PGA. One player tried putting from the rough and barely got it on the green. Helps having Suzann up there.

I didn't get to watch any of this event... But I was listening to the PGA Tour Radio this morning on XM... And they said someone whiffed on a putt/tap-in?  Anyone see it?

This weekend we have both men's and ladies golf on TV here at the same time. Makes flipping channels a bit more fun. I remember as a teenager working at a tennis club, the male members would often speculate how they could win against the female professionals on TV. Oddly, I don't here the same kind of conversations going on around the 19th hole. Probably because no matter what, all those ladies would kick my foursomes collective butts.

Anytime I see any professional golfer, male or female, flub a shot it makes me realize why this game is so different from any other. The permutations and combinations are endless......so is our ability to perform miracles (chip it in from 30 yards) or public disasters (curl a drive into a swimming poll being enjoyed by the owner).

I didn't realize what a "I think I'm really macho" kind of site this is when I signed up. You men are much too self-absorbed for my liking.

At least she has been consistent this season. Finishes +11.

Not watching the LPGA has nothing to do with being macho; I don't watch it for the same reason I don't watch the Senior Tour or the Nationwide Tour, namely I want to see the best players in the world. If you don't think there are enough threads that are enlightened, then start some, rather than complaining about other people.

It's true that membership on this site is predominately male and some here really have issues with the LPGA. I enjoying watching the women play and this week's US Open was pretty entertaining. I didn't see Saturday's round but it looks like I missed a truly spectacular round of golf by Na Yeon Choi. She shot a 65 when the average of the field was 77 and the next best score was 69. On yesterday's telecast, Annika Sorenstam said something to the effect that it was the greatest round she'd ever seen.

      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.
