Well, the media will be flooding the world with talk about who's the best during the Barclay's .  It seems that Tiger and Rory will be paired together, for at least the first 2 rounds of the tournament.  Tiger has committed to playing the event which means

Quote:
barring any serious changes, that commitment means fans won't have to wait until the Ryder Cup to see Woods and Rory McIlroy go head to head, according to PGATour.com . As No. 1 (Woods) and No. 2 (McIlroy) in FedEx Cup standings, the pair will play side-by-side during their first two trips around the Black Course in the tournament's top threesome.

I can only imagine what all talk will be generated from this pairing.  Each reporter will be chomping at the bit to be the first to post a "Tiger's done" headline or a "Rory is better than Tiger" headline.  It should be entertaining.

With that being said, I think it will be a great group to watch.  Dufner could be the third guy in the group.  If Tiger and Rory don't watch out, Dufner might sneak away with the spotlight.

What do you guys think about the pairing?

I expect that Tiger vs Rory will be a big headline in golf for the remainder of the year, at least, and if both keep on as they're currently playing, it will be THE story next year.  I don't really care who ends up on top, but I'd love to see these two battle it out and really separate themselves from the rest of professional golf.  Would make for the most exciting thing to happen in golf since maybe the Tiger slam.

Maybe Rory is just what Tiger needs!

They've played together a few times already this year, and nothing spectacular happened. I don't expect that to change. Afterall in a strokeplay tournament the players don't play against each other, especially not on the first 2 days.

I'd just like to see them re-unite in the last group on Sunday.  THAT is the real match-up.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

Tiger and Rory going into Sunday tied up would be excellent.

That would definitely call for a very early tee-off for me, say 7am since the sun is rising later, followed by lighting the grill with a case of Heineken's for that match.

EDIT: Who am I kidding, that's my plan for Sunday regardless!

I'm always pulling for Tiger or Phil and I'm probably one of the few that root for both of them, with Tiger having an edge with me. I really don't care so much for Rory, but I would love to see how he handles the pressure of playing on Sunday grouped with Tiger. Not just Tiger, but Tiger in contention and on the prowl bringing straight fire.

I'm sure you could get the grill going with a case of Heineken, but don't you think a much better plan would be to drink the Heineken and light the grill with lighter fluid or a chimney starter.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

      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.
