Well I've finally settled on my picks....but it is too early to post them, as someone will make my 2nd pick their first pick, and someone else will make my 3rd pick their 2nd pick; therefore I'm waiting another day or two to post them.

Players play, tough players win!

Thanks for boxing me in Tazz haha.  With only 4 pages of entries so far, I feel like everybody has caught on to the ideal strategy, and that is to post just minutes before the thread closes so this prime example doesn't happen.

Then there is a possibility that others will have picked the player you wanted to pick, and there may be no realistic winning scores left to choose form. For example, if you want to pick Tiger and wait til the last minute, you would probably have to pick his winning score at -22 since Even through -21 will have (probably) already be used.

    • 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.
    • 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.
