Poll question: "Who will have the longest drive on the 16th hole, Els, Simpson or Watson?" What kind of dumb f'n question is this. I wish you could shut the poll questions off, it is too much.

"My ball is on top of a rock in the hazard, do I get some sort of relief?"

It was briefly, but I had to send it to the guys there for the once-over (factual review - not a lot of facts, so even though it's long, it shouldn't TAKE too long). Here are some pictures. The

I liked Daly until I watched his reality show.  He has got to be the biggest whiner ever.  I thought he was moody, rude to his girlfriend, and entitled.  Sometimes it is better to think you know what someone is like, than to find out you're wrong.

Having said that, I would like to see him in contention on Sunday.  It is a good story, and when it comes to golf, I only care about the golf.

Tiger's making a nice move up the leaderboard this morning; he's now up to T8. Can't wait to see what happens when he actually tees off.

If he does, he will be leading the tournament most likely.  A lot of other players are over par.  They say this is one of the toughest courses in the US when the wind is blowing.

Do you know if he will be a featured group on pga.com?  Never mind, looks like they will be.  Bubba Watson and company were the marquee group for the early tee times.

What the heck happened on Tiger's drive on #2?  How far did he actually drive it?  He nearly hit people that were crossing the fairway on a natural crosswalk area! lol

Edit: So it was 341 yards.  Into a crosswind?

Right to left helping.  Still, it was the bomb-diggity.

Too bad he hit that gap wedge almost as far on the third.

-  If that damn survey banner pops over one more time ...

-  If Michael Breed does one more analysis on that screen ...

-  Keegan Bradley is the twitchiest golfer ever.  If they take away his anchoring he might lose his tour card.  He also has a very specific pre-shot routine:

1.  Line up behind the ball, tilt head to one side and stare for 15 seconds.

2.  Step next to the ball and take 4 crouching little mini pitch-like practice swings.

3.  Step back behind the ball, take 2 steps forward, one step back, then one step forward, now two steps back (now swing your partner round and round and dosey doe)

4.  Walk up to address the ball, when 2 steps away go back and line up behind the ball.

5.  Un-velcro and re-velcro glove exactly 6 times.

6.  Repeat steps 3 and 4.

7.  Address the ball and take 6 mini waggles.

8.  Swing away!

Very simple and effect routine, but if he only velcros his glove 5 times he has to start over.

Talk about slow play.. holy crap I couldn't play with that guy.. he is OCD...

      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.
