After watching tiger in the barclays event this weekend i noticed his less than stellar performance one again.

I dont know what he is working on or what his plans are for his swing but in my oppinion it doesnt seem to be working, he is 4 years without a major and tiger himself has said thats all that matters to him majors.

He seems to start well for the first 2 rounds then lose all consistancy, distance control and his putting collapsed.

Is it time for him to ditch foley as so many seem to think, if so who should he hire to coach him or should he not hire a coach at all?.

Guys, we will never see the old, dominant Tiger again.

He had his day in the sun.

He's still a good player but like any aging champion, the magic is gone.

On the plus side, we got to see one of the greats in his prime.

I believe the same is true with Phil.

It's not "their time" anymore.

I'm down to a 10 handicap. At this rate, I'll get to scratch at 90 years old!

Who are you referring to as "one of the greats"? Certainly not Nick Watney?

One would assume he means Tiger Woods.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

He said: [quote name="beachbreak" url="/t/61624/2012-barclays-discussion-thread-pga-tour-playoffs/36#post_762764"] On the plus side, we got to see one of the greats in his prime. [/quote] He implied that Tiger is done. How could he still be in his prime? Or is he saying that at least we saw him when he was in his prime?

I thought I remember hearing/reading many years back that Tiger actually took a moving van/truck to many tournaments that had his own bed in it...guess there was no truth to that rumor or he didn`t do it this week.

I know it sounds crazy and I'm sure he was exaggerating, but its on video on Golf Central. No lies.

Sincerely, Jim

      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.
